I see you missed my point and the examples I pointed with EFI etc.. I could carry this on for ages but I shall leave it at this seeing as it is pointless saying anything that adheres to the modus operandi here. Yes, EFI is potentially ultimately better than an carbs or basic injection for a variety of reasons (knock detection, better ignition and fuel control as only a few things). I say potentially because without the know how, any fuelling system is rubbish, no matter how many failsafes and benefits it can bring.

Maybe it's me but there seem to be more threads here recently about EFI going wrong that a 'bodged' K-Jet system .

If the oil is thinned down enough by the oil it will eventually get past the piston rings which in turn is not great for engine wear! This on modern diesels with a DPF is a big problem when they come to regenerate, often resulting with the cars dieselling themselves to destruction as a result of the sump filling up with oil.
