In process of replacing injector and nut kit. It is a mess in there...must have been leaking for a long time and there is a lot of crusted up carbon and whatnot everywhere. Cleaning it up ad best as I can. Took poppets out and there is also a lot of this stuff in each of the six ports. Trying to carefully remove this but I know some in flaking off and falling into the portals. Can I spray something like Deep Creep in there to clean them out? Any ideas welcome. Thanks.
 
Yeah I have used the shop vac. Just wondering if I can spray the Deep Creep right into the injector ports. I would guess I can considering you can put seafoam in gas, crankcase, and brake booster line. Just want to be sure.
 
OK just checked with seafoam. Can do this but need to take sparkplugs out to let fluid out of cylinder to prevent hydrolock.
 
x2 on the hydrolock, but that's a bunch of fluid.

When I did mine a month ago, I had a small (1/2") round brush that I kept dipping in gas.

The intake gets so filthy since the egr dumps in there

the gas will evap off fairly quick

I think in retrospect, I'm going to seafoam mine a couple of times, tho' I don't know if the layer of poo is really hurting anything (it's got 142k on it)

luck,greg
