Following the refurbishment of a central port injection system, often referred to as a “spider,” thorough verification of its functionality is critical. This process ensures the system delivers fuel correctly to each cylinder, optimizing engine performance and minimizing potential issues. The assessment involves evaluating the injectors for proper spray pattern, flow rate, and leak-free operation. Successfully executing this evaluation is paramount to confirming the efficacy of the rebuilding process.
Proper injector testing after a rebuild yields significant benefits. It confirms the investment in the rebuild was worthwhile, avoids potential engine damage from malfunctioning injectors, and ensures efficient fuel consumption. Historically, rebuilding and testing these systems was a common practice to extend the lifespan of older vehicles, particularly those with specific fuel injection systems.
