Its likely if you had bad injectors there, then they've already done their damage and its time for a rebuild. If you suspect heavy carbon build up or stuck rings, drive it and change the oil frequently. If things don't improve after a few thousand miles and several oil changes, you've got some more serious damage. I'm assuming you've already checked valve clearance and confirmed the glow plugs are good. And what lead you do replace only two injectors? Did you have them all tested? Why not replace all of them?
