I really want to be sure that they are all in good condition.

This is what the spray pattern could look like :eek:

I'll sort it when i build your engine.

Its not the cleaning, its the calibration.

but surely carbon deposits from heat soak cause injectors to clog and spray inefficiently too !?

wtf lol why would there be combustion at the injectors to give carbon deposits

who does it in NI?

ideally I'm needing it done this week-end.

why dont you whip each injector out individually and test the spray pattern in a jamjar or something


yeah but I'm after a more technical & thorough approach. :lol:

doenst need to be anymore technical than that for checkin spray patterns. your just comparing like for like

if anything you can put a new injector on one then compare that againt the other 3

but sure Steven is gonna sort it for you, so why worry about it

"wtf lol" read my post numbnuts. heatsoak can cause residual fuel in the injectors to evaporate and leave behind carbon residues which over time build up and can prevent proper spray patterns... :?: :roll:

yes just let steven sort it, if they arent spraying right im sure he'll know.
