No, it is the best way to get to a surgical clean level. Just be careful with the basket operation. Before you get to that, you should disassemble and not mix the parts up (each injector remains together, its parts). I would soak them in Berryman's or something along those lines. The stuff that comes in a gallon pale. Then soak in Purplecleaner. I wont give away my secret for rust removal and another stage which is my gimmick, but the above is enough to get them looking pretty good. That is, that's 2 out of 4 stages.

Yes, take the pintle out of the nozzle body, BUT do NOt mix them up. All the parts must remain together, so you either can only do one at a time Or you have a basket seperator.

excellent, ill have to do each one individually but ill have a whole week for that. hopefully this will bring them back to life again, performance on my 240d has been a little sluggish but ill see how well it runs with the k26 turbo I'm putting on today!

Having clean ones is the way to go, but having them tuned at the right PSI and balanced is the real key. It is the variance between the injectors which causes many rough running issues.

Yes, turnaround is generally 48 hours. It's $10 per injector and $10 postage, so total $50.00. I do need a full 48 hours to do them. I use no abrasives, no acids, nothing caustic. They will look like new and I balance them per FSM or better. Generally, I shoot for 25 PSI +/- although the FSM says 50 is OK. Shipping is priority so I would have to mail them by Thursday morning at the latest for possible Saturday delivery

Looking for 4 cores right now. My garage is an oven. It is hitting 100 degrees now in SC, so around 8 PM I can venture out there for a good search and destroy mission.
