Au falcon has a higher compression ratio and is screwed together better. Au is newer than an e series engine

Have you got a J3 chip or similar aftermarket ECU for using those bigger injectors ???
If not, then you will be having a "bore wash" problem, thinning the oil, and buggering the engine in general.
Oil rings don't crack....they get gummed up however, from lack of servicing.

Why are you using 42lb injectors? they are twice the size you need for 4.0L NA, and with the small mods you have they are not required. As cjh said, you will overfuel and stuff you oil and the engine.
