Loose injector adjustment

I don't agree with his theory but I am wondering what exactly happens if your injectors aren't set tight enough?

Just like ausie-ISX said ... if you want your injectors to get leaky, fail a leak-down test all the time, soot up your metering passageways because they are not closing the needles properly, throw your injection timing and fuel quantities off while your at it, etc.. then go ahead and run them loose.

-- I have seen quite a few guys come over here where their injectors were set to 0-nm (like the really old cummins engines used to be set) because the mechanic who did the overhead adjustments was 'Old'school' and completely did not know how to adjust them properly. -- I have seen the long term results ... it is not pretty at all for the injectors, throws fuel mileage off, messes them up, and all sorts of other problems in the end.

NEXT: is the fact that OVERHEAD CAMS ON THE ISX DO NOT GET WPIED OUT FROM PROPERLY ADJUSTED COMPONENTS!!!-- IT IS FRMM ABUSE AND NEGLECT + LETTING THE OIL GET EXCESS SOOT BUILD-UP -- and one way to do this is to let air and combustion gasses get into your fuel system and f$k up your injectors because your stupid enough to not set your injectors and valves, etc properly, then argue with others like a complete moron.


-- i get that some people really have no idea what they are doi9ng ,... I get the fact that they make youtube videos of their complete ignorance -- all humans put their foot in their mouths on occasion -- but when you refuse to listen to proper solutions to your problems and argue against others that know far more than you do about what your saying -- that crosses into the realm of stupidity, not simply ignorance.
