You can buy ultra-sonic cleaners from places like Jaycar - I'm sure you could source them without any problem :)

Isn't that how they are cleaned when you take them to a workshop to be done?

The jaycar ultrasonic cleaners aren't powerful enough to clean injectors. My local injector cleaning place tried it and it did nothing/very little to a set of injectors that we tried.

well by paying someone means that each injector is flow tested and has the right spray pattern somethign you cant see yourself

Save yourself the effort and take them to a injector cleaning place they will clean it for you, if you take them out yourself you save about $150.

Yeah, might do that ... in the process of making a custom intake at the moment, I was just pulling apart one of my old mainfolds, and saw the injectors had crap all over them ..
