(Gasoline) fuel injector cleaning

I currently have access and would like to remove the gasoline fuel injectors from a Chevy 454 for cleaning.

I'm not talking about running a cleaner through the system at home, I'm looking to remove the injectors for professional cleaning using chemicals and ultrasound, then tested.

Has anyone here had a positive experience with a company that provides this service? A company in the northeast US preferred...

Thanks.
  • Why? Is the motor running badly? Mis-fire? "Stagger"? Anything like that? If not, why fix something that ain't broke?

    Not being the mechanic-whiz that i thought I might be, if I had a problem with the motor and could tie it down to the injectors, I would first use one of the commercially available store bought products. If that didn't clean things up, then I would seriously look at removing and cleaning them. Then...I would look at how much would it cost to remove, clean and re-install vs. replacement. (Do your own work? Then that's a moot point)

    Maybe something simple for a 1998 motorhome (or ANY motorhome, really)...just take it for a long 60 mph drive. Maybe that's all you need.

    g'luck!
