if you go back and reread the replies, the idea about grinding the top threads off and screwing the top portion into the botom portion was my idea. we all know dave is the idi guru here and im just a pion but come on give credit where credit is do lol. im just playing it doesnt matter who said it.

I have no experiance with sea foam but it is flammable as most penetrating oils and what you put in there will stay in the cylinder so if you use much and decide to use heat use caution I would hate for it to blow the injector out in your face. another thing if you use a lot and decide to crank the motor over to blow out the injector remove the gp first so the liquid has a place to go then reinstall it after you have cleared the liquid out of the cylinder.

brake fluid should work and you dont have to worry about in getting into the cylender as long as you dont fill the cylender up all the way and try starting it and causing harm to a piston rod. then if you think theres to much that has leaked through remove gp and spin it over.

LOl its all cool I just hope he gets it out without pulling the head that would suck.
I actually have extra lines but I hate to cut a good one.
I have some old injectors too so I think I'll grind the top half of one down and keep it so that I will never need it. lol

I hadn't thought of it but the brake fluid will break down that carbon.

i would definatly put some brake fluid down in there and let it soak. i think i would also try and find a piece of round bar that will slide inside the bottom half of the injector. tap it with a hammer in the attempt to dislodge the carbon buildup. dont go in there and whale on it.
