Are my injector holes clean enough or not?

One trick for debris; remove glow plug and tweak an air blow gun fit in the hole. Overpressure will blow debris out from injector hole or at least prevents then going in cylinder.

Okay. Update. Have now used the injector cleaning kit for the first time. I felt like I had to use it twice through to get what I felt was a better result. However i am not impressed by what they claim it does. Photos to follow from the Samsung phone again shortly.

Photos of newly cleaned out injector holes using a LASER Diesel Injector Seat Cleaner Set 14pc, Stock No. 6101.

Meaning that you’ve not cut through the dirt to clean metal

Laser tools are very good however it seems you have purchased a cleaner rather than a seat cutter?

Laser 6101 looks like just a wire brush cleaner,

On second photo is that debris or a crack?.


I have a seat cutter if you need to borrow it.
I’ll be in Basingstoke next week.
Just need to find it.
That’s the Cutter not Basingstoke.

What you bought is a cleaner, as said by @EXMERCTECH it's essentially a wire brush to clean the holes and seat. This is great if you don't need to cut them. If you want a seat cutter then something like this although please check it is correct for your car. Go gentle with it and cut the bare minimum

I have cutter set but usually I use just a wooden stick with abrasive grind paper. Surface should be almost shining... in addition now couple of seats show clear marks of old copper seal location...

 

[John Laidlaw]

The first pic wasn’t too bad ...

 

[NBurns]

Okay. Seat cutter has arrived. So got cracking immediately. To be honest I cannot see Any improvement at all. Photos to follow. Does not appear to be cutting any metal away at all.
Confused dot com!!!!

Has the grinder touched the bottom? Any marks on the metal at all?

Yes. There are cut marks on the bottom.
