Time for some preventative maintenance and want your advice fellow bricksters (or is that BBer's). Inga, my faithful 1986 245DL, 232K miles, Auto Tranny, daddy's piston slappin little kitten with the big plastic headlights. Lots of BB inspired Mods. (Swamp Cooler, brass radiator, pusher fan for the AC, removed and jumped temp comp board, and Freeze 12/R12 in a un-converted R134 system). She is running like a top and keeping both of us cool on my 75 mile per day commute right now. And want to keep her that way.

Time to change the Fuel Filter and address a breather box oil leak. The leak is not the oring by the way. Since the pressure is going to be off the fuel rail after the filter is installed. And another item in the project pile that has been sitting there is a new genuine Volvo intake manifold gasket. And I really want to see what is happening with the breather box, going to pull the manifold. When that is off the car and clean rags are put in the holes, also plan to pull the injectors and install new seals and orings. Also plan to give the whole area a good cleaning as part of my ongoing degreasing campaign under the hood.

After that overly long intro, the question is what would you use to clean the ends of the injectors when they are out having the new seals put on?

As always thanks in advance for any constructive inputs, warnings, and or advice.

Regards,

Paul
