    Not sure if it's best to open another thread for this or not. I couldn't find anything.

    Sent my fuel injectors off to be cleaned and I was told that one of them has an irregular spray pattern even after cleaning but the other three were good. Is it safe to run with one that has an irregular pattern? Or would it be better to suck it up and get another set of corksport ones like are on it? Shop said it should be fine but definitely trust this group more. lol.

    My reluctance is buying a 1200 set of CS injectors as I've been unable to find a single corksport fuel injector. Called CS yesterday and they don't offer them solo but passed my info along to a reseller who may have them. Going to keep looking to find a single one and ultimately I do want to replace it asap. But given there's going to be a delay in getting the replacement I was curious of consequences of having one with an irregular pattern. Wasn't able to find any sort of definitive answer when I was googling.

    I would not run one which is not good.

    "should be fine" hate that word should, that's them going eh maybe but maybe not you assume the responsibility. I'd air on the side of caution and replace it like EB said.

    Corksport doesn't make injectors they're oem ones cleaned, along with their seals.... Checkout tasca or dealership for new ones or rock auto for GB remans (still OEM injectors) https://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=10338148&cc=1505571&pt=6224
