get some laquior(sp?) thinner and let them sit in it over night then let me sry for a day, worked great for me!!

 

what is that

 

also if there are any sites with detailed pics

 

Laquer(sp) thinner is the stuff you use to clean paint brushes and things like that. It's basically a mean-*** solvent. You can pick it up at Home Depot, Lowes, or whatever hardware stores that are available in your area.

Just pull your injectors off the engine and soak them in the stuff for a few hours, then let them dry completely, reinstall on your motor and you're good to go.

 

i used degreaser on mine took like 30 seconds of my time to clean them then i just reinstalled them after i washed them off with hiot water and a tooth brush( i used very little hot water)

 

so just get a bucket with paint thinner and leave them there for a few hours?
does that damage the injectors?

There are injector cleaning kits that are about 40$. I think beck-arnley makes some... look around, maybe ask your local autoparts store.

 

I think he means lacquer thinner. Man,,, the typos and spelling on some of these posts is laughable.

Oh yeah, injectors. You could send them to RC and get them blueprinted for $25 a piece and shipping. Thats what I am going to do. I just bought a new set. I figure after 100k+ miles even if they are cleaned there has got to be some wear.

 

so get that tinner stuff and por it in a bucket and leave the injectors in there for a while

 

if you are really concerned about it send them to rc engineering in california for 75 bucks they will blueprint and balance them with a sheet showing before and after results

Ditto.

 

Thats the same thing as Fuel injector cleaner, i even read at a site that they are cleaned by Dealers by a "Sonic Blaster" something like what i does it put ultra Low FQ through it which breaks the Corbon deposits down. and was said to be the only true cleaning procedure out there....

...well till Autozone starts stocking it I'm sticking with the Laquer Thinner

 

the thing is that i ant to clean my friends motors injectors and see if it will restore some horses but he wont send them to rc so im going to now get that laquer thinner and leave the injectors in their to see if it makes a diffrence

 

The best way to really clean injectors is to pulse them while circulating a cleaning solution through them, which usually is non-flamable. Dipping them in thinner or anything else will only clean the outside and possibly damage the plastic parts of the injectors.

The second best way is to run Chevron's Techron in the fuel tank.

Overall, unless your local filling stations are really bad, the injectors are quite well designed and built, and therefore rarely need a serious cleaning.

 

send them out, have a rofessional do it. Thats the best way.

 

how about this site that shows how to clean them and once again im doing this for a friend and hes cheap he wont spend money on that this is to prove a point to him
