Default pressure washing and fuel injectors

Just pulled my plenum and looks like the gasket was replaced by the po but it was starting to leak again. So far so good on the tear down, my question is this I didn't remove the injectors and fuel rails, can I use the pressure washer on the keg with the injectors in place or do I need to remove them?
Thanks for the replies you guys and gals make working on my truck a lot easier. 2001 1500 with the 360 auto 4x4 doing the governor sensor after lunch
THANKS AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Randy

injectors are very expensive and most pressure washers are very high pressure.

i would not hit them with high pressure. either remove the injectors or forget the pressure wash.

water+injector=bad.

Clean them with concentrated fuel injector cleaner or mineral spirits in an ultrasonic jewelry cleaner. Just unbolt the rail and pull upward. using a little lube in the seat (the tops side of the kegger) like WD40 or PB blaster helps, but they're in there tight for a reason. Use lube on the o rings when you reinstall or they will tear. If you want the injectors off of the rail, there is a clip you have to pop out.
