Was wondering if you would care to elaborate more? I'm not fully conversed on the technicalities of the injector but I'm interested to learn. What/why do you think they failed prematurely? Is it the carbon buildup that's causing it? I am assumimg by Zero blow-by you mean no evidence of cumbustion products passing from the chamber outwards through the seal (a failed seal) am I right? Sorry for sounding like a n00b just want to make sure I avoid this from happening again
I am thinking I should run some injector cleaner every now and again to maintain cleanliness. Looking at the amount of carbon buildup on the old ones in quite scary considering my low mileage and the fact that I dont do a lot of spirited driving (hmmm maybe that's why!)
