And clean both the cylinder head and the cup well. I used a gun bore brush and brake clean. There absolutely has to be a good bond between the injector cup and cylinder bore where it taper's. Like WHYTRY said, be completely ready for installation of injectors when your done with the cups. Put them all in and torque to spec. This holds the cups tight in the bore while the locktite cures. I always let it sit over night before I add coolant and start the truck.
