Ensuring Injector Health: A Critical Step in Engine Longevity and PerformanceFuel injectors play a crucial role in maintaining engine health and performance. Healthy injectors ensure optimal fuel-air mixture, thus enabling the engine to run smoothly. However, faulty or leaking injectors can cause the engine to run either rich or lean, both of which can lead to severe engine damage. A rich mixture can cause oil dilution, reducing its protective properties, while a lean mixture can cause detonation, potentially damaging vital engine components. Therefore, it is essential to understand the cause of previous engine failures, particularly when replacing an engine, to prevent a recurrence. As a preventative measure, testing the health of injectors when installing a new engine is highly recommended. Ensuring injector health ultimately contributes to the longevity and efficiency of your engine, saving you from the inconvenience and cost of unexpected engine failures.
