Suggestions? Injector related.

Happy Thanksgiving all.
Tonight/tomorrow, I am going to be doing the return lines. Got some #111 o rings, clear fuel line, and will get some copper washers when I can pull one out. I plan on pulling the fuel supply lines (IP to injectors) to soak them in condenser acid, and get some of the surface rust off. I also would like to test/clean/repair/upgrade the injectors w/out replacing them (if not needed).

My questions are:
-What is a good way to clean the internals of the injector? Or should I just soak them, and run some fuel additive afterwards? I do not suspect and of them not being up to par.
-When you see advertised "Rebuilt Injectors", what is done to the injector to "rebuild it"? What is the difference between an old used one in perfect shape, and a freshly rebuilt one. I figured I'd ask sense ill have them all out. Does anyone have a detailed diagram of this injector.

Thanks guys. This is a very informative forum.

Normally if I get mine rebuilt I get new pintles installed in old casings and pop tested and reset........ As for others they may do same or just do a pop off test and re shim them... if you order online call the seller and ask them.

If your sure yours do not work...... you could get them checked and pop off reset if the spray pattern is good.......... $$$$$$$$ for either could be the same as new purchase.
