Hey guys just recently pulled out the injectors on my RB25.

Was extremely gentle removing them, didnt loose any of the spacers etc, made sure I was gentle. I am getting them professionally cleaned soon.

I took the caps off no dramas but I noticed that 1 or 2 of the injectors have some of the little tangs have broken off where the nozzles are.

Just wondering if this this going to damage or change anything with the spray pattern or anything like that ? Or if they've been like this for a while and its damaged my motor in any way

Thanks

These are what you call pintle caps. All those caps do is retain the O-Ring seal on the front of the injector as. Older injectors these were essential as they protected the exposed valve pintle (tip of the valve that influenced the spray pattern) from being broken off.

The plate on the end of these injectors protects the pintle as well as determine the spray pattern so it's no big deal. You can get them replaced if you really desire (they cost bugger all anyway) but all the tags are is a reference for how far the cap needs to be pushed on. Unless they are cracking down the side I would worry too much, but hey if you have them out it could be worth while for the sake of a few bucks.

Whoever you get to clean your injectors should have all the required parts.

Cheers

      Price seems pretty good to me. Also seems a hell of a lot cheaper then buying another vehicle that only ever gets used for towing.  I'm a long way from you mate, I'm a couple of hours out of Brizzy.

      The sodium acetate, mixed with citric acid, doesn't actually buffer each other. Interestingly though, if you used Sodium Acetate, and acetic acid, THAT becomes a buffer solution. Additionally, a weak acid that can attack a metal, is still a weak acid that can attack a metal. If you don't neutralise it, and wash it off, it's going to be able to keep attacking. It works the same way when battery acid dries, get that stuff somewhere, and then it gets wet, and off it goes again breaking things down. There's a reason why people prefer a weak acid, and it's because they want TIME to be able to be on their side. IE, DIY guys are happy to leave some mild steel in vinegar for 24 hours to get mill scale off. However, if you want to do it chemically in industry, you grab the muriatic acid. If you want to do it quicker at home, go for the acetic acid if you don't want muriatic around. At the end of the day, look at the above thumbnail, as it proves what I said in the earlier post, you can clean that fuel tank up all you want with the solution, but the rust that has now been removed was once the metal of the fuel tank. So how thin in spots is your fuel tank getting? If the magazine on the left, is the actual same magazine as on the right, you'll notice it even introduces more holes... Well, rust removal in general actually does that. The fuel tank isn't very thick. So, I'll state again, look to replace the tank, replace the fuel hanger, and pump, work out how the rust and shit is making it past the fuel filter, and getting into the injectors. That is the real problem. If the fuel filter were doing its job, the injectors wouldn't be blocked.

      Despite having minimal clothing because of the hot weather right now, I did have rubber gloves and safety glasses on just in-case for most of the time. Yes, I was scrubbing with my gloves on before, but brushing with a brush removes the remaining rust. To neutralize, I was thinking distilled water and baking soda, or do you think that would be overkill?
