Default someone help with this injector

I was in a bind and these were free so it saved me a tow. My injectors started leaking at a friends hse and a mech shop was down the road that gave me some injectors. The part # 17103146, they were off a v6 3.8 I think.

No leaks and it drove fine home and seemed to have the same power. I am thinking about leaving them in, the o rings on the old injectors were rotten.

Does anybody know if these can be left in?

Does it run? Does it leak? I would leave them in.

if its too low(cc) the computer will lengthen the injector pulse if it detects a lean condidtion possibly overworking the injectors. With six holes the spray pattern might be good enough to ensure complete combustion (the main reason injector swaps are so popular) requiring less fuel. Hope this helps.

Just replace the O rings on them to be on the safe side. Jeeps are known for this as the stock O rings are junk
