I don't really know how you would clean them but it is damn expensive to have them cleaned, last time i checked it was like $20 an injector, i said no thanks, i imagine they hook them up and flow some solvent through them.

Wow, i looked over the process and no wonder it is a bit pricy, looks like that shop does a good job, i will probably just wait untill i need bigger injectors which i hope will be soon

Re: How can I clean SVO injectors at home?

There is a place just west of Appleton that does them for $10 apiece, I had them do a set for me I was happy with the work BUT they found the set to vary flow wise and one was totally dead so I ended up buying a set even after having one set cleaned. Shoot me a PM if you plan to go to WIR one noght once they reopen, or maybe even if you have a major mod you need a hand with.

Re: How can I clean SVO injectors at home?

Thanks for the info fellas. Looks like my buying a used set of injectors wasn't such a good idea after all

30# SVO injt. used $130. .....Clean @ $12 each $96, plus shipping 2X $24.
Total $250.

New ................... $210.

You could always install them with programming and use a good fuel system treatment like Fuel Power or maybe Techron.

I think I have seen them in Summit for $220 so somewhere having them for $210 seams within the realm of possibility.

There is a FORD Hi Po site that has them for $200. Can't recall the name but it's around.
