Dimitry - I recently rebuilt the injectors on my '81 SD using the monarch nozzles. I am pretty happy with the results. While testing before I rebuilt the injectors I had one injector that was "peeing" a stream before it popped. I imagine that was causing a lot of my rough idle and excess black smoke. BTW to clean them I used some biodegradable cleaner that I had from a McParts store named Purple Power by Klean Rite. I cut it about 50% with water. Dismantled them and soaked the parts for about 30 minutes. They came pretty clean just scrubbed them with an old tooth brush. I had also purchased a brass round brush to rod out the interior surfaces of the holder but not sure that was even necessary. After scrubbing with the tooth brush I rinsed the parts off with a sprayer on the garden hose, blew them dry with compressed air then coated right away with a thick coat of WD-40 to prevent rusting. I then lapped the various surfaces as required followed by a final clean and more WD-40.Good luck on your project.
