Heater hoses

I cleaned up the injectors some with some carb cleaner and took a few pics..

Let me know if you want them...

It looks as bad as mine unfortnately. To really clean them out you must remove the basket filters, and the caps. Then soak them in fuel injector cleaner for max effect. I did the same thing before - using carb cleaner I ended up buying one injector. I need one more coz on one of the injectors - the cap broke it turned brittle. In this severe case of fuel injector clogging we need a mechanical way of cleaning them - one machine I know is using high frequency sound waves to clean them it looks like a diesel injector calibration equipment- it's name is ASNU - from Australia. You could actually see the gunk falling fron the injectors and also performs back flushing.

When I built the currnent motor we are using I just took my lowest mileage injectors (130k miles or so)..

I have a set with 355k miles and a set of 150k+ miles left (the pics are from the 150k mile set).

I know to clean them correclty they need to be disassembled and cleaned but I didn't bother with my last set. I know I can get them cleaned/checked and rebult locally for $35.

I think I could close this thread, finally fixed the rubber plugs on the upper and lower heater hose coolant ports. Thanks everyone!
