Leave them soaking in coke?
Once done, snort them clean.

You can buy ultrasonic cleaning bath kits. No idea how effective theyd be on injectors but they do a job on most other stuff.

Problem being is how are you going to know the flow rate?without this you can't tell if an injector is faulty.

that is a problem i have thought of....i was thinking of getting a clear plastic tube, somehow feed the injector something at a pressure and time it, mark the level, next injector and so on, may not be brilliant nor accurate, but at least it should give me a rough idea, i would send them off to be done, but it is a bit expensive...
