i'm pretty sure Skinny G did
I've had good luck just sticking them in the ultrasonic cleaner while I cycle them with with my injector tester.
I bought a bench top Chinese unit that ultrasonically cleans them, and flow tests them.
I have another unit than allegedly cleans them on the car.
I've also merely sprayed injector cleaner through an injector using a 9V battery, but I would encourage something that will pulse the injectors and ultrasonically clean them. The ultrasonic is the ticket.
The bench-top unit I bought was cheaper than sending three sets of LS injectors out for flow matching, in the hopes of finding 8 that match. It definitely works.
Spray cleaner, a new 9v battery, and compressed air.

Where did you get the unit? From what I've found, on a common injector (ie not a diesel, etc) $25 range per injector seems to be the norm
Pretty much the cheapest one I could find off Amazon. It cost the same as cleaning 10 injectors.
Wondering if a sonic cleaner and a separate cleaner puller would work

Cleaner puller?
In reply to APEowner :
Damn autocorrect, pulser. They make devices that will pulse the injectors as you spray cleaner through them
If I were to make my own, that's what I would do.
You wouldn't have a way to compare and measure flow so see if they all flow the same, but that can be rigged up as well with some burettes and a fuel pump. There are a lot of stuff on the web on making those. At some point, buying a machine is a lot less aggravation.

You can get a good pulse set up for about 50. 1 injector at a time. And a good ultrasonic cleaner for under 100 that'll do several at a time. A device that flows cleaner with a pulse that also does ultrasonic cleaning is around 400 and does 4 at a time. I'm cheap, so 150 sounds better than 400 AND I can use the cleaner for other parts and carbs, etc
