Default how do u clean out injectors

I'm swaping out the upper/lower intake and the injectors are dirtier than hell. Whats a cheap way to clean the injectors out while I have a chance. Also, under the lower intake is a mess with some of the corner gasket marerial rotted on the heads...is there any solvent to help clean this up....thanks.

theres not an easy way to clean the injectors while there out of teh vehicle. You can replace o rings and tips while there out.

if you send them off to have them cleaned/flow tested it runs u about 20 bucks a piece, almost the price of new ones.

i would throw them back in and run a can of sea foam through the intake and also in the tank. You could also take the car to Sears, Pep boys and get them to clean the injectors by running injector cleaner through the them
