Subject:      Injector cleaning
Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Can someone recommend a method to clean injectors that have been removed from the engine? I am doing a new engine install and am moving the complete fuel delivery hose array and injectors to the new engine. I mainly want to clean them up ( without removing them from the fuel rail) as they are in what appears to be good shape and all the fuel hoses were replaced not to long ago.

I was thinking of using brake cleaner but I'm not sure if this will dissolve the plastic hoses and coverings, maybe there is a better suited solvent? I also don't want to damage or otherwise cause more problems with them.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

Thanks -john
