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 .. |

You talking about the crap you put in your fuel tank? They are all sh*t!
Removing them and having them professionally cleaned is the only way to have them done correctly, they can be tested to ensure the spray pattern is correct after cleaning. |
