Default Cleaning injectors out of the car

I'm installing a FAST intake and have the entire fuel rail with injectors out of the car. I was just wondering if there was anything that I could soak them in or anything that I could use to clean them with while they are out of the car?

Just use brake clean or carb clean on them also check the screen on the inlet look for any debris in there if not your good 2 go
ziplock them after so they stay clean!

if you have access to a ultrasonic washer, thats the hot ticket for cleaning injectors.

unless you have a method of pulsing the injs. They are closed, and will not allow the cleaning fluid to reverse flow.

way to check the injs is to put them on a flow bench. Looking for "stuff" in the filter baskets is not of much use. The varnish and crud can be below the basket.

When cleaned correctly, the baskets are removed/replaced, as are the o'rings, etc.
