If you clean yours do no use any metal on them. Use a green dish srub pad, This was suggested by a local 40 year mercedes mechanic. For 100 bucks, you can buy new monarch injectors from mercedes source, (probably not a bad idea). Also thoroughly clean your pre chamber and ream your glow plugs while your in there, also you can visually check all plugs while injectors are out.
Why buy new injectors? Just reuse them and get the nozzles. That is what I did at 200K
