Do injectors have a shelf life?

I know it's a random question but I am looking to buy a complete FIC top feed fuel setup off of another member.

 

The injectors are brand new and unused but we're purchase back in September 2009.

 

Do they have a shelf life or will they function exactly as they should as there are still brand new.

 

Any advise welcome

 

Thanks

They should be flow tested as the oil the makers leave in them when maufactured slowly emulsifies and can stop the pintle moving properly, or even at all. The bad thing is storing injectors that have been run with petrol through them The petrol washes ALL oil out of course, then they can corrode internally.

FYI this is the set in question.

 

I ran a group buy on here from FIC and never got round to installing them, apart from the injector shown outside the packet the rest are still sealed and have been kept in the original box which was stored in a plastic container.
