Fuel Injector Ultrasonic Cleaning Project
 

I'm leaving this forum and have deleted all my work in this thread.

Just curious what would 8 new injectors cost?

Nice write-up. Very helpful. I think I'll buy my wife an ultrasonic cleaner for her jewelry and get her to buy me a pulse timer.:)

"for her jewelry", uh huh... ;)

oh yea ;)

I'm too cheap for an ultrasonic cleaner and tester/timer setup. I'm about to set up a cleaning system using injector cleaner, an old pump sprayer and a holding jig to clean the injectors from my boat. You can trigger the solenoids using a momentary contact switch and a AA battery. I'll let you know how it works out.

That would be good! let us know how it works out.

yea I've seen the vids also, with the syringe and battery and all, and have looked into the on engine cleaners as well. I am wanting a good setup like yours. Looks like the right way to do it and nothing worse than putting something back together just to find out the job wasn't done correctly the first time.

My daily driver has a vacuum leak or injector leak or clogged injector or something now.
I was about to tear into that and change the o-rings and half a** clean them but would be good if I had a setup like yours before I do.
It's because I didn't do that when I had my engine apart before, now I have to take it apart and do what I should have done to begin with. I can partially blame that on the place I bought my head gasket set from, as it was supposed to have the injector o-rings included and didn't and I had already pulled my injectors out when I noticed that they were not in the box. so, I just put them back in with the old ones and as a result I now think they are not sealing good.

I'm always tinkering with engines and will always have some that need cleaning. I have 3 rover engines now, two running and one apart, and all could use an injector cleaning/rebuild i'm sure.

I think that's something that will pay back for itself many times over. Not having to pay someone else to do the job or buy rebuilt is worth more than the cost. Then every time I have an engine apart I can go ahead and clean/rebuild the injectors for good measure and not have to wish I had.

So are you happy with your choices of the cleaner and timer? If you could do it over would you buy the same or is there something that yours don't have that you wish it did have?

I have had the HF cleaner for over two years now and have not had any problems with it. I used mine for cleaning the Fuel Injectors as well. Almost anything I take off the truck that will fit in it gets cleaned. Best stuff I have found to use is the cheap orange spray cleaner at the dollar store. I use a 50/50 mix of the cleaner and distilled hot water. Heat the water first on the stove then add it to the cleaner. The heater on the cleaner will keep it warm. Otherwise it takes several cycles for the built in heater to heat the solution.

Jared9220,
seeing as you have this down pat why don't you offer it as a service?
make a couple bucks and everyone doesn't have to run out and buy equipment that will only be used once.
Start with one set of injectors from a bone yard and do an exchange program.
win,win
