    Injector tip cracked. Question?

    1997 mariner efi 175 og549797
    Sent injectors out to be cleaned/flowed. Received them back and noticed this crack on the tip of one. Can anybody confirm is this will or will not affect performance, or is it just cosmetic? 20211207_182024.jpg20211207_182043.jpg

    Though the injector would still function, I would not personally utilize that injector as there is a possibility that the piece could dislodge and end up in the reeds (or worse, in the engine).

    Recommend contacting the servicing facility for assistance.
