Further info for the browser who doesn't notice the age of this thread. (like me right before I posted this reply. Ah well, useful info anyway)

In theory that sounds good. But the reamer is also cleaning out the head. On my 300CD I recently pulled the injectors and the pre-chambers. The prechambers were soaked for a week in carb cleaner and cleaned extensively. After I put them back in I was having diffilculty installing a glowplug so I wipped out the reamer I had also purchased. It got as much crud out as the original picture and the pre-chambers were clean as a whistle.
