[QUOTE=Frankie;1446906]On second thought, I'll let the diesel shop handle this. Peace of mind is more important right now. I think GreasyBenz has a lead for me.

You guys ever feel like standing around to watch your mechanic work? /QUOTE]

You have to have the injectors tested before you KNOW for sure that the soaking did the job. Otherwise it is a SWAG as to whether you only got the surface carbon out or whether the entire thing is clean. Only an injector test will tell you if the spray pattern and pop off pressure is good or not.

I ALWAYS stand beside my tech when they work. Twice I haven't and the first time the tech didn't do what he was supposed to do. The second time, the tech (210OLEMOTOR) did my spring perch like it should have been done. Other than that, I am always by the tech. I was that way when Gilly was my tech and still am. Ditto for my other cars.
