A bad injector causes coking of the rings despite what fuel your using.
Do you have any information that is first hand ?
Instead of a guy who brought their car into your buddies shop ?
I have heard lots of shop talk get pretty far fetched, like fish stories around a camp fire.

The injectors looked aweful, veggy oil gunk all in them.
I was at the shop when we tore into the motor. So it was first hand, thats why I said I should have taken pictures to show on the forums, but I didn't have my camera with me.
The motor was designed to run on diesel, diesel will not harm a motor.
Im not trying to be a prick, im just telling you what I think from what I have seen in the past......
