Post by polskamafia mjl » Sat May 08, am Matt, I can't remember where but I saw a really good write up for cleaning out the injectors. I am almost positive that they the injecors were dunked in some kind of alcohol based slolution. If I run across the write up I will send it your way. However, I don't think seafoam would damage them The seafoam shouldn't hurt them but check the cleanliness of the electical contacts before reinstalling.
