123 locks are simplicity itself to work on. The "right" way would be to buy a selection of lock wafers to build the correct lock.The expedient way is to use the wafers you have and a small file to make them work. IIRC theres like 8 wafers in there, 123s aren't exactly high profile targets for

That is correct, more so that I replace the seals on the injectors, the injectors themselves aren’t leaking - it’s the seal between the injector nozzle and the head, a copper washer. Parts to do the whole set are like $18.00 from the dealer, and it’s common enough that my dealer stocks them.
