i just got tpi injection at a swapmeet for like 50 bucks and i'm looking for a place to get them cleaned up and put it in that chemical dip that makes it nice and clean (dont know what its called) any help would be appreciated

 

You do, if you buy a drum of CRC Tyme-1 at the parts store.

 

hmmm didnt know that. is it expensive?

 

Not real cheap, but you can reuse it and it'll last you a lifetime.

 

Westside machine in Houston (like most machine shops) has a heated parts washer that I think will do what you want. It is what they use to clean engine blocks, oil pans and other assorted nasty parts.

 

The "hot tanks" for cleaning engine blocks use lye, except maybe in California where CARB makes them use magic pixie dust or something. The problem with lye is that it dissolves aluminum. For aluminum parts like your TPI, they shop would just put it in a tank of cold carb cleaner like you could do yourself.
