02 lb7, 270k miles. Did a Bosch reman set. Got a couple hundred miles, and back to parked. I know I can replace just 1. But I feel like we ought well fresh start and do em all. The entire story of how I ended up here is long.
Replaced with a full set of reman Bosch. Had a knock. Replaced the one that wrapped out.
Did hard lines.
Now has blow by.
Can't go over 20mph.
Doesn't knock on start, just driving.
SOS.
Per reading balance rates from the tuner, on stock tune, 8 reads higher then the rest.
Just gonna replace them all. Again. But I have 0 idea what brand to go with.
Guidance would be great. This is the first lb7 we have had.

Balance rates should only be read on stock fueling. You might need to return to stock tune to get an accurate balance rate

Plus you need the main rate too in order to make since of the balance rates

Contact one of our vendors on this site for replacement injectors. They will make sure they are genuine Bosch rebuilds and stand by their products. If you want SAC style they can do that too

Thinking a cracked piston ?
