    Smile injector cleaner

    Hello,
    What additive would be good for cleaning the injectors? I have removed them for cleaning and a pop test and really dont want to do that again. Also, what would be good for additive to the oil? I run fuel additive every fill up.

    I run a 2 micron primary filter and a stock canister filter in the engine compartment. I change the canister every 12K, should I change the 2 micron unit as well. Since it is 2 micron will it clog quicker? Should I stay with this or go to a 10 or 30 micron filter?

    Thanks

    I'm guessing the new primary filter is pre-lift pump?

    Seems a bit coarse to be before the mechanical or electical lift pump. Only time will tell.

    As for additive, just keep doing what you're doing as far as fill-up additive. I prefer the Stanadyne, that's what I need to be running...

    The additive acts to clean the injectors and lubricate the injection pump.
