I've seen this a bunch too. "My injector is stuck open" We pull it and the o-ring isn't propely seated.

REDX7, not sure if you were referring to me with the "not a KD fan" but that simply isn't true. I've never had ANY dealings with them positive or negative. I've heard more positive about the shop than negative and if I lived in the area, I might consider going there (not sure on that now however). All I know is that I've run my 1300's for about 65K miles now, daily driven, daily raced, with various setups over the years. Not once have they given me a problem and I have one of the first sets of 1300's made. If we start seeing numerous shops across the country having issues with these injectors, hey, I'll be the first to swap mine out. I just think it's a little fishy. But hey, it's your money, right?
i was just asking myself this question. . . is KDrotary the only company claiming 1300cc failures?

i cant say wether it was the oring or not. all i know is what he said and what i saw.

No, dude, I wasn't talking about you. I was referring to mr rx7tt. He's a 7 guy that lives in Virginia Beach. He's always giving me hell about going to KDR.

I am just kidding you... I like KDR and believe they do good work, I just don't know about their tuning and injector failure...
