Oops I think I broke my car

I had pale green and I replaced it with purple or whatever the color is. I believe there are 4 different colors. Different color injectors are different from each other I am not sure what makes them different. What I found when I was researching it, you can't mix different colors within same bank. Otherwise, you can have any color. There is a Teflon seal on each injector, do not try to replace it unless you have a special tool. I installed ones I bought without any modifications. It is being around 5k miles ever since.
It comes back to me now. Color of injector is defined by the color of rubber seal.
Broken is on the left with a black seal and a replacement injector off Ebay on the right with a brown seal.

I learnt something new today, this is FYI to you people if you don’t have oil or coolant milkshake doesn’t mean you don’t have a blown head gasket. From rhe very start I wanted to check but I was too busy I put it off. Advise to you, have a trust worthy independent race shop or something do it. Don’t be like me, I had my exhaust check because that’s whet it sounded like, no leaks. I never though it could be the head gasket:
”if the head gasket fails in such a way it allows the compressed air/fuel to escape, the compression of that cylinder is reduced. This loss of compression results in a rough running engine and a notable reduction in engine power. This sort of failure typically is accompanied by a sound like an exhaust leak.”
so my engine running rougher was an issue but I had assumed because of the movement when changing gears from P to D etc it’s the engine mounts.
so heads up !!

If head gasket leak is suspected, compression test needs to be performed. Presence of gas in the coolant, coolant in oil or oil in coolant indicates a severe leak.

If you suspect a head gasket leak I'd suggest a coolant test...

Btw I was was asked by the mods to change my avatar, that’s disappointing that the world has come to this. The death of expression and free speech when nothing was directed at anyone. As a result I shall not be contributing here as much as I usually do. I guess some people will be happy

I agree. Dont take it personally, its part of the world we live in today. The mods wouldn't have contacted you about it unless people complained, and you cant blame them for not wanting to deal with people complaining all the time.

Aww thanks guys it’s the opinion of the regulars that matter.
I’m not the nicest guy but I try and the “realest” no bs, no coddling but lots of sharing and caring when I ask questions I follow through with results when I post stuff I try and be as detailed as possible. I’m glad that there are people who’s appreciate it. I don’t always get to post pics coz I don’t do the job but I do what I can when it’s relevant like damage to the suspension systems etc. . Anyways there are 3 engine options in 3 different countries I’m working on and. Once I get this fixed I can move on to my other ideas for the car, suspension mods etc. Heating cooling etc...the benefit I can bring is share innovate solutions people come up with in Eastern Europe to guys there.
