Hows it look

Posted in my original thread but trying to get some answers so here we go. I







don't know much about injectors and how they should look. To me I would say this one hasn't fired in quite awhile. What ya'll think? It's 6 degrees her in billings montana and I'm about to brave the cold to fix this thing today.

I believe it is very difficult to discern anything from an exterior view on an injector to assess the health of the injector.

Although, I will defer to the Finlander ( @FinnishStroker ) and Matt from BDP ( @Bitterroot Diesel ) for expert opinions.

On a side note, that countertop is beautiful.

O-rings looks ok.
AD(140cc) solenoid (all solenoids are interchangeable).
Did you clean the injector body?If not,it looks quite clean.
Does have gunk in the tip but could been worse.

So what are you planning with the injectors?

I just been having a miss that I can't figure out.. low contribution cylinder 3 so I did a buzz test and found this injector weaker than the others. So I pulled it to swap in another one from a 99 7.3 to see if it cleared it up. It runs better now and is oiling but still smokes so I assume there is damage to the rings on 3.

Could be wiring. You would want to move the "weak" injector to another hole and see if it follows.
