I have no firsthand experience but Jake and others commented that the injectors can’t be opened and therefore the internals can’t really be cleaned. That seemed to be the driving rationale behind the replace vs repair recommendation.

Do these things disassemble? What parts can they replace? Orings?

Orings and screens in the top of the injector. They can be ultrasonically cleaned and flowed, but after spending all that money on a new engine, and knowing it doesn’t like injectors that wash cylinders down, are you going to trust 18 year or older injectors?

When I was researching hot rod engines from the 60’s and 70’s, cylinder bore wear was always a concern and under discussion for rebuilds and longevity. Nothing new.

Most of those engines could be remedied with a machine bore to the next service size, no plating or sleeving needed. Lots of minor scuffing could be cleaned with a hone, not so much with this engine.

From where and I'll order some? None I can see at Pelican or Rock Auto. Plenty of Porsche ones about, but I'm not that desperate.
