Default Left Bank?

On the LT-1, can someone confirm if the left bank is the driverside? Also, I think my left bank rich problem at idle is due to a sticking injector, does anyone know a good way to clean these injectors, ie take them out and soak them in something?

FYI - they are 30# svo injectors (redtop)

I've used brake cleaner on the micro-screen, that's about it without having a pro do it for you. There is a small tester that plugs into the injector that will test the duty cycle, not sure how much it costs.

I had a leaking #1 primary from my old JetHots prior going to KOOKS. The primary would suck air and richen the drivers side bank which I thought was my left bank, been awhile so I don't remember. But my point was are you sure it's an injector issue, hence you have no exhaust leaks from the heads to the 02 sensor? When mine sucked air it made the pre-cat 02 think it needed more fuel when it didn't in reality so it ran like apeshit until I switched headers.

When I did my intake reseal, I soaked the ends of mine in Seafoam for a few days and the car feels snappier than it did before.

How did you go about finding the leak near your headers as this sounds like it might be my same issue but I can't see or hear any leaks on the Driv. side. Also, this is really strange as the BLM's level out under load, but just pig rich at idle. Anyone else, have a suggestion as to what can cause this or should I just not worry as it is just idle and not while driving?
