Your clutch should be ok if it has only done those miles..
injectors arent too hard to remove,,just remember and hold the injector before you crack the nut on the injector pipe so you are kinda working them against each other cause sometimes they can be tight and will need a crack to remove.once the pipe is out the way the injector should come out easy enough,,there is a little copper or aluminium washer on them also

I would recommend just replacing the injectors (if you feel they need cleaning). After cleaning them they still may not be right and the cost is not THAT much more to just replace them. You don't want to go back in if it turns out that one of your 'cleaned' injectors isn't performing correctly afterall.

Jerry,
I just did this to my '95 993 fan assembly. Everything was on my bench already for an alternator replacement, so I took the time to properly clean, prep, prime and paint both pieces. I used Duplicolor high heat engine paint in 'Aluminum' for the fan and followed it with a few coats of clear. For the housing, I used Duplicolor 'Cast Iron'.
For what it's worth, the fan is magnesium and most powdercoating outfits will turn you away claiming that the finsih will lift or bubble during baking. After cleaning the housing and inpecting it carefully, I concluded that it was most likely aluminum. Hope these pics help:

Andreas - your fan/shroud look fantastic! Your pictures inspire me to "fight the meticulous battle" with my 911s as I still have a few months of winter left. Thanks for the post.
Good luck Jerry - let us know what you end up doing. Sounds like fun!

Blake,
Thank you!
Steve,
Fairly easy. The best time, naturally, would be while replacing the alternator or doing other work involving the belts. Getting the fan/housing/alternator assembly out of the engine bay is easy. Splitting the fan from the alternator shaft took a nice three-prong puller (and some heat from a heat gun). I then used the same puller to get the fan hub removed from the shaft.
The alternator sits precisely within four cast voids in the housing. The four nuts from the rear certainly keep the alternator within the housing, but are not responsible for the alignment of the fan within the housing.
Take it apart and ship the two parts to me and I'll duplicate what I did to mine!

You don't want to leave any surface exposed as it will corrode quickly from the elements.
Looks good BTW like your color choices.
