SparkieSRT6, You are correct..! Cylinder #6 is badly scared (bottom half) from the effects of cylinder flooding (hydraulicization?) and #3 was well on it's way to being, also damaged. No other cylinders have any damage at all...! This was found with a boro-scope view from the bottom up and all damage was in the bottom half of the cylinder, that it why we could not see it from the top.

Now to find out if the "new injectors" I was sold were in fact new. I am having serious reservations that these were new injectors because two of them were bad and with the many discussions with three separate injector shops. They all said the very same thing "I can see one new bad injector, it happens but the odds for two brand new injectors being bad would be very high".

I will have all three injector shops to give me their professional opinions (documented) on these injector's, answering the question of are the injector's new or old. Good or bad I am posting only documented information to all (no opinions just documented facts by professionals), this is so know one else makes the same mistakes that I have made in service and parts. *new = 3K to 4K miles vs old = 30K to ? miles, they said that they can easily tell the difference, so we will see.

*REMEMBER guys if you floor the pedal and you see fuel spraying out the back like a fog or a mist then you have bad injector(s) and your engine will fail if the injectors are not replaced at once...! I only thought that the injectors were to large, I did not get any real check engine errors until the last two days (maybe 20 miles but the damage was already done) which only said that I was running "rich" in bank 1 and bank 2 for #6 and bank 1 and bank 2 for #3.
**I did get an intermittent check engine error "running rich" but it would clear once on the hwy??? So I did not pay attention to the intermittent error... This error was different and not the same error as the bank 1 & 2 rich errors which are very bad, meaning that you may already have engine damage at that point.
