Whilst we take all possible steps to avoid injector or engine damage it still remains a small risk as rust, debris or injector parts can drop into the engine compartment causing damage, in some small amount of instances injector boars can be rusted through to the water jacket, this can not be foreseen, therefore DTM will not be held responsible for any of the above.
