THANK YOU ! .
I also have an ultrasonic cleaner I use for Motocycle carbys, might be advantageous to use it for cleaning .
As of yet I'm just using my pop tester to see if my old cores are any good, some are, most pop way below 135BAR .
I have no vise, not even a work bench, I work out side under a 20' X 40' tarpaulin ~ good thing I'm in California, eh ?

I have saved this detailed explanation for future use and sharing with others .
For now, I still have much to do on my three old W123's but would like to try setting my own pop pressure .
Some years ago I met a *very* nice Dentist who did his own injectors and adjusted a full set for my '77 300CD in his garage, he didn't understand why I was upset that after he'd 'cleaned' my nozzles using old root canal cleaners, they pissed like tiny garden hoses....
Yes, the car ran *much* better but I'm aware of the spray cone
