Dented fuel injector? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Hey guys, I just need some quick consulting. After inspecting my fuel injectors, I've noticed that they are a little dented...

What do you guys think? Get new ones? Or install them anyways?

Never pulled this part out before. Where is it located?

it's a port injector. I've installed it anyways. I emailed DW about it and they said it should be fine because if it was like that already that means it was tested with the dents and passed. They said it was just the the metal casing around has no function but to protect it. The actual spray pattern wouldn't be affected. So we're good! I installed it and the car fired right up, no stumbles, nothing

Now I can enjoy my e85 and moto east's flex fuel kit

Good cause mine arrived and I have one just like it...

On a side note. I too have the DW's. Do you have any install reference material you are using?

i PMed you, but there's a good amount of tutorials on the flex fuel kit, but moto-easts instructions are pretty good. and for the fuel pump there's quite a few on these forums. and the injectors are pretty self explanatory
