Same idea as the industrial version that I use to clean injectors.

This type is much better though http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/INDUSTRIAL-6-5-LI ... dZViewItem

I use a proper ultrasonic cleaner solution from RS and clean them with 12v applied to the coils to open the valve so the seats get a good clean.

I test them using a small pressure tank full of the ultrasonic cleaner and pressurised with compressed air to 3 bar, you can tell by the spray pattern when they are right. A nice cone shaped mist is perfect, most I've cleaned have started with a weak jet but after half an hour or so in the tank give a fine mist.

Cheers,

Very interesting Ian.

Does this mean we can all send you our injectors when we do engine rebuilds?

For a reasonable fee, of course.
