Injector pindel caps?
 
One of my pindel caps is chipped I know you can replace them but I cant find replacements anywhere. If I leave it alone will it be OK?

i know there are some on ebay for DSM 450s...

although it doesnt matter. broken pintle caps do not affect performance, i have 2 injectors in my DD that are missing them altogether

Pintle caps affect the way fuel atomises. They're not essential, but a good flow pattern helps make an extra few horsies. Unless they're prohibitively expensive, its not a bad idea to get replacements. Or send your injectors for cleaning when they are replaced as a matter of course.

You should change the title of this thread so that it can be found when searching.

there's a guy on ebay that sells replacement sets for $25, not bad IMO

The cleaning and rebuilding of used DSMs defeats the purpose of using them. THEIR CHEAP.

With them being $50 shipped, $25 for caps, $$ for cleaning. You are creaping closer to just getting lightly used or new RCs.
