Hmmm, not being rude but it is a fairly envolved sort of job with a large scope of little things that need detailed attention.
How much do the dealers want to do the job? Is it as much as replacing the car if you make a simple mistake like not checking the composition of the seat seals your using?
Again not being rude but I can only judge your experience in the field by the fact you have to ask what injector to use.
Appologies if you are experienced in mechanical repairs.
I have qualifications in automotive repairs in a field that at times requires a great deal of attention to detail but injector replacement is not something I would not take on even though I have everything I need to do the job. One small mistake or not noticing a flaw in one new component could cost the engine.
Not telling you not to do it just trying to make you aware of the large risk of disaster present.
Just recently a chap started a thread asking for opinions after removing the injectors to clear oil from the cylinders after a rollover and refitted them with no new seals, then wondered why his sump filled with fuel.
