Mountainman , i got this tool kit from local auto tool store but they discontinue it, it was chip , there is pilot tool and few flat 17mm 19mm reamers also 45 degrees you need 17-19 mm flat you can get it from amazon, as for aluminum shaving , don't worry get vacuum cleaner its ok when you use lube on this rimer wiped out with shop rags.

Ok, many thanks! I guess my method of using the shop vac with a piece of fuel line down in the chamber is good enough. I'll add the grease also.

When I cleaned the injector seats I used a wooden dowel not sure of the diameter now and stuck a circle of wet and dry paper on the end. worked well for me.

I have just fitted the reconditioned injectors. wow immediate difference it started and Idled with alot less clatter and was idling smoother. I had recut the seats with a 17mm Flat reamer and cleaned them with a q-tip (cotton bud). I left to idle for 10min and took for a very light test drive. boost seemed to come in lower down and it pulled consistently. I am looking forward to getting it out on the open road to see how much difference the recon has done.

I have to replace the fuel filter housing. I have a new Delphi filter head with integrated primer bleed etc, sitting waiting to go on, this should eliminate the air being sucked in from here which I believe has been like this for some time causing the injector wear etc....

I have a video to upload of it idling now. be interesting to compare them one after the other.

What length flat reamer does a person need? All my heads are at the machine shop now or I'd take a measurement. I'm tired of trying to get the seat clean with the shotgun brush.
I wonder if tiny aluminum flakes will cause any problems in the chamber?

Thanks for posting!

Why don't you use a drill with the shotgun brush?
