Frankly, IDI injectors are cheap enough that if you suspect they might not be good, just replace them. $200 for a whole set, and they tend to go 100-150K miles.

i was just wondering...are rebuilt injectors as good as new? i have one leaking and i found a set plus glow plugs and install kit for $300. injectors are remaned...also have a glow plug that is leaking somehow...not sure how it is possible, but when it has diesel on it it bubbles.
thanks for the help. still new to diesels

The glow plug itself can't leak. The threads around it can.
A glow plug just heats up. The bubbling is probably the diesel heating up.
