hey guys i just received my 450cc injectors from ebay and there is a crack on the black tip on one of the injectors! is it still ok to use or no?
its not ok, the crack will eventually break apart the entire tip
anyone else have this problem before?
I wouldn’t use them. your talking about a faulty fuel system later that can be a fire hazard or blow your engine. it’s not worth the trouble. do yourself the favor. BE SAFE!!!
get your 450s clean and remove the broken black plastic pintle cover…you’ll be alright without it…
like dencio said, get them cleaned, flow checked, and ask them if they’d recommend not taking the piece off. I’ve seen people use them without the plastic part, as long as the pintle is ok.
Those are the pintle caps. They are only there to protect the pintle when the injectors are not installed. If the cap is cracked remove it before you install the injector into the car. This will not effect its performance. If you want the cap replaced send the injectors out to be clean/refurbished (recommended anyway if the history of the injectors is unknown) and they will replace any cracked or warn caps as part of the refirbish. I used Cruzin Performance to have mine refirbed and they charged me $12/injector.
so for $12 per injector does that include shipping? or do you pay one way or both? also they will for sure replace those caps? what else will they replace? thanks alot!
The cost includes the return shipping. You have to pay to ship them out. Call them and ask them your questions, they are pretty cool folks to work with.
thats right, this is for protection
alright thanks alot guys you all were a big help, instead of returning them now ive decided to turn them to cruzin so they can flow test and clean them also! thanks alot guys!
