Lightbulb Do "ALL METAL" Fuel injectors exist?

My first post here in the forum:

We have a 93 Grand Cherokee. Im looking to replace the 6 injectors with ALL METAL ones, due to heat soak damage to the plastic portion that makes up each injector, and a few of the connectors to the wire harness.

Ive searched high and low for them with no luck, but to only find partials of both metal and plastic, and all plastic ones to the part that plugs into the cylinder head with the o-ring attached.

If there are any alternative upgrades you can suggest for me; please do.

Ill be doing other related heat soak mods to deal with it too. If anyone has any info on this, Id very much appreciate anyone's input. Thank you...

Wrap the injectors in a thermal sleeve. Something like these.
Amazon Amazon

Or find/make a shield that sits over the intake manifold to block some of the heat rising off the exhaust. Hood vents are another option, but not everyone likes the look. Dont put the vents directly over the TPS tho if you add them. The TPS can get wet when it rains, and they dont like getting wet.

You have not found them because they do not exist.

They do not exist because they are not needed.

Fix your heat problem.
