...again, my question is; were the injectors tested in the "running" engine or, were they tested on the bench?

no...no test was done...supposedly this guy had 30 years looking at Cat engines...

i pretty much lost when he said he was 90% sure by looking at the crown of the piston it was a faulty injector...

bunch of crap if you ask me...

so i'm just waiting for the bill right now...how much do you guys think the bill will be...

changing 2 pisons, 2 liners and a injector...plus labor at $55/hr...

Wait a minute; why did they do 2 cylinder kits if there was only 1 bad injector? Maybe that injector was so bad that it caused damage to #2 cylinder because it was nearby?

This guy with supposedly 30 years of cat experience also told you that etrim codes could damage a fuel injector... until the shop manager corrected him. A true failure analysis tech is NOT going to give you any 90 nothing bull$h1t - he will tell you YES or NO... without any doubt.

P.s. - there's a big difference between 30 years experience... and one year's experience 30 times over...
