iNJECTOR CLEANING SERVICES
I know this has been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything using the search function. Does anyone know of any business that specializes in injector cleaning, and flow testing, that you have personally used. My car is a 1991, L98, automatic. I have the plenum, runners, and intake manifold out for powder coating so I wanted to get the injectors serviced while I have everything apart. Also when I pulled the intake manifold I noticed there isn't gaskets on each end of the intake manifold which apparently is normal. I have heard that these are susceptable to leaking, what does everyone in the forum do during reassembly as far as sealant?? Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated. THANKS!!

For the intake manifold, use "The Right Stuff" by Permatex on the front and rear. I followed another forum members suggestion and "dimpled" the front and rear block walls with a center punch to give the sealant a better surface to grip. Hasn't leaked a drop since.

I just bought some reconditioned fuel injectors for a Caddy Deville I am working on.
I bought them from Brad at Auto Clinic of Rockford in Rockford, Illinois.
Great to deal with. Very intelligent about what will and will not work.
Tell him that Gregory with the Silver Vette from Chicago told you to call him.

Rich might recommend just replacing those, depending on mileage. Give him a call though, no b.s., and top notch service.
New Ford injectors are about $220 per set.
