3. Clean the bottom of the cylinder recess with a round brush.
4. Blow out the recess and clean again with a lint-free cloth and cover over.
5. Perform these steps for each injector recess.

NOTE: DO NOT clean the tip of the injector with a wire brush. Use a lint-free cloth.

6. Clean injector body with a wire brush.
7. Clean injector tips with a lint-free cloth.

NOTE: Do Not apply antiseize lubricant to the injector nozzle, apply only to the injector body.
