Cracked injector nozzle >.<

So i went cheap and bought a set of used injectors w/ rail and installed it. but the one before that was just as the same (Cracked, worn and bad) so after installing this one, drove it for a while, took it back out to take a look at it, the nozzle was cracked again! >.< im sure its in some of pistons now...sigh... so my question is, can i still be able to drive like this? with the nozzle being cracked? is it safe? and i can def. feel some lost in HP. it wouldnt pick up unless i step on it.

If you picked up a "set" of them, take one that isnt busted and replace the one that is. Also when installing them, put some Vaseline on the rubber O ring so that they slip into place better. Dont drive around with a broken one, the spray needs to be specific to atomize correctly.
