I've taken out the injectors on my '90 240 GL and i am about to send them off to be tested/cleaned.

But...

The nozzle on one looks *bent* ever so slightly. I can see it just my eyes, but a magnifying glas makes it clear.

I'm guessing this mean the injector is hosed. Right?

So, if I need a new injector (that costs what, a minimum of $175 new? 125 rebuilt?), is it worth it to pick-and-pull one or two?

I would figure many would be fine with cleaning, but does the cost of cleaning and the chance of getting a bad one offset the savings?
