did you try them yet? hearing mixed reviews on them so far. early reports had them sounding like it wasn't worth the hassle w/ many not working properly though the vendor took care of swapping them as needed. wondering if they sorted them out and have the problems fixed?
No, I haven’t tried them yet. I’m waiting on my next UOA before I make any decisions. If I have high levels of fuel in the oil again, then I’ll swap injectors. If I have minor fuel in the oil at the 3 month interval, then I’ll just make 3 month oil change intervals. I’ll add them to my new engine when that time comes.
Here are two quotes that may help answer your questions. This quote is from Precision:
“I know it can all be very scary at first but fuel injectors and their works are very simple actually. It's an electromagnetic valve basically which opens and closes based on the computer's signal. The fuel goes through the injector and when the valve opens (plunger gets pulled back when the coil energizes) the fuel flows around the plunger and down into the nozzle (bottom end of the injector). The nozzle disperses the fuel into it's particular pattern. These nozzles are a different variety so they flow a more atomized pattern than the factory counterparts. That's all it is. Same flow rate, different spray pattern.
If you get any problems with these like a hard start or anything at all, call me or email me. I don't expect you to, however one in every 50 orders or so for these injectors gets a hard start. Basically a nozzle seat gets a flash of corrosion and the seat doesn't seal properly anymore. The fuel drips into the cylinder once the Jeep is shut off and when you start it up, it takes 2 turns of the key to get it start so that all the fuel gets pushed out (like in the old carb days). It's just one of those things that no matter what measures we take it seems to still pop up. Dirty injectors don't have this problem since the layer of gasoline deposits protects the metal surface from oxidation. Go figure
”Another quote from NAXJA:
“He also mentioned that he is investing in a new solution to hopefully solve this issue, which while is not overly common, is "more common that I would like...".
