I plan to clean the injectors tomorrow. Does anyone remember whether they should be put back in the same cylinder from which they were removed?

Absolutely. I would suggest cleaning one at a time and at least
starting back into the cylinder it came out of. The only time this would
change would be to swap your first and last to peak injectors to try for
more balance. Hoppes No. 9 is probably the fastest working cleaner, but
is aggressive enough you don't want to leave an injector in it much more
than 30 min.

Kelly, I can understand your answer if the injectors had been matched
to the cylinder previously.
Do they come that way from the factory (Lycoming) matched or are the
injectors all the same based on engine size???
Linn ..... not a whole lot of injector experience .....

The injectors from the factory are all a single nominal size, within
tolerances. But, that does not mean they are identical. If your engine
runs LOP with the injectors in present location, why risk screwing
that up? If each cylinder flowed air identically, and each injector
flowed identically, GAMI and AFM would never need to provide injectors
with slightly differing flow.
