    Sending my engine back to the 80's

    I am replacing my m20b27 for another one that runs a lot better, before dropping it in I am trying to restore it as best I can without spending over $100.

    Here's what I've done so far:
    1.Cleaned/polished/painted engine components (valve cover, manifold, thermostat housing).
    2.Cleaned spark plug wires & radiatior hoses with wesley's bleach white
    3.Cleaning all electrical connectors with QD Electronic cleaner

    I still need to clean my injectors, they work fine but they are just very dirty. No local shop cleans and tests injectors & I really don't want to pay $90 to send mine off.

    What is the best cheapest way to clean the injectors? Can I just soak them in Carb Cleaner or Seafoam? I really just want to clean them up a bit while I have them out.

    Anyone on the forum do injector servicing?

    Is there anything else I can do while I have the engine apart and out in the open? Looking for really simple stuff to do, I'm not looking to rebuild the engine or anything.

    West German BMWs, they just don't make the same as they did before the wall fell.
    ^Case in point: Auto-Repair Technology. Everytime my car isn't starting or acting up I let it sit, sometimes for an hour, sometimes for days. But it eventually fixes itself.

    pop the front cover and check the timing belt out, also the cam shaft seals, the main rear seal, and check the pan for leaks. I know your low budget but if you replaced all these now it would save you a lot of time down the road.

      Bavauto sells full reseal kits for a pretty good price.
