Can you ruin your engine from bad injectors?

Anonymous

∙ 17y ago

Updated: 10/21/2022

Leaking injectors that are allowing fuel to flow after shutdown, will allow fuel to flow into the cylinder. This fuel will mix with the oil and dilute it's lubricrating ability. This will cause engine wear and will eventually cause serious engine damage.
