Injector issue.

Does the end of this injector look normal to you? the ring is cracked and/or broken on the rail end of the injector. This is how it came back from FIC. All the others were ok, not cracked.

I agree, but what to do. FIC emailed me and said "I think it will be ok".
So i called them later today, confirmed it should be ok. No fix to it, would have to replace the whole injector. So i went with it. Started putting it all back together. Made a note where that one injector is located. Just hope it dont leak!

Re: Injector issue.

As long as you got a good o-ring seal on it and it doesn't drop debris into the injector it should be fine.
