Most importantly.

Does anyone know how to make an ultrasonic cleaner?
Is it just vibration, or does the vibrating motor need to be tuned to a specific frequency.

If I use an old hand drill with a concentric hub on it, and a variable speed power supply, can I get it to the correct frequency?

If I can, how will I know I am at the correct frequency?

My little cleaner was likely not in the ultrasonic range, but it did do a good job cleaning injectors. One thing I found is if I put too much cleaner in the cup the action would get weaker and splash all over. With just enough to cover an injector it made little wavelets (sp?) on the surface and cleaned better.

What you propose will work, but like mine not ultrasonic and I can tell you it was not quiet. Had to put it behind my shop because the noise drove me crazy and it takes all day to do just one injector.

I can (maybe I can't) imagine what a racket something that large would make...
