        also for small surface rust you can just use 40p sand paper on sanding machine or just wire brush on a drill it will clean the bare metal ,if you use grinder you will put deep scratch marks on metal surface and you will need to use more primer to fill as well as rub down primer ,other words giving your self unnecessary work

          best way scuff old paint with 30P sand paper ,next buy some plastic drop sheets and masking tape,paint stripper,etch primer,high build primer,paint etc
          mask panels you don’t won’t to repair.
          poor stripper on damage paint spread it with brush it will take 15min to 30min
          for paint to start pealing off use scraper to remove paint, continue to poor stripper until all paint is off .
          get some paint thinners or wax & grease remover clean bear metal by wipe on wipe off with 2 rags.
          apply 1 coat of etch primer wait 5 min apply 2 coats hb primer.
          depending on the type and brand of paint normally 20min wait them apply top coat color wet on wet.
          good luck

            The standard gasket is 82mm to allow for overbore……..yes the standard piston is 80.6mm, better than 3mm on an 85mm gasket.

            You can see in my pic that the edge of the bore is slightly seen.

                  hi there .
                  check your water temp sensor ,possibly replace it.
                  most of the time just clean them out with wire wheel.
                  if you can get cheap one replace it.
                  this is my last time i’ll be helping out.
                  theres a lot of good guys here helping already
                  im getting nothing in return, having premium membership
                  would have been nice but thats how its.
                  good luck everyone

                                injectors are getting much cheaper bit like computers.
                                best to get professionals to clean them.
                                electronic designs cool job.
                                you should look into making and designing cheap (ems) engine management system .
                                atm is big rip off to buy one.
                                as i said before don’t waste your time & money on aerosol sprays.
                                kinda reminds me of the magic spray people use in soccer when player
                                gets hurt rofl

                                  [quote=”vinnyy” post=167826]Hello nice people,
                                  I just watched a video that reminded me of the 1990’s and 1980’s, when I had a very smart older friend (and sometimes boss) who owned a small car electronics garage (pretty much like ETCG). He was an inventor and I was his electronics geek young friend. One of the electronic circuits I designed and built for him was something that he built fuel injector cleaning machines with. The machines were fancy looking with a few toggle switches and lights and hoses and he made a little fortune selling them to friends who run garages. The instrument was basically switching pulses with different patterns to injectors that had a cleaner chemical run through them at high pressure. They had 4, 6, and 8 options.

                                  This is a nice guy who looks like having a Turkish accent who makes good videos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rk0tKtiVic who is using a much simpler process.

                                  Is this procedure useful as a preventative measure? and is messing with the injectors (by taking them out and putting them back in the rail again) easy?
                                  Is it worth the effort?
                                  I wish that ETCG and the nice smart people in this forum have a say about this.

                                  Thank you

                                  hi do you really believe the aerosol spray going to unclogged injectors?
                                  i believe this one is the best way to clean injectors.
