Re: Sea foaming through were??

I can't get pics to post on this forum, but it's the shiny black pcv line (about 1/2" diameter) on the driver's side that goes from the cam cover to the upper intake manifold. You really can't miss it.

FYI - you'll need a buddy to keep the engine from stalling out while you suck the sea foam in. Once the can is empty, immediately turn the engine off and wait about 15 min. Then restart it and let the smoke show commence. Don't forget to change the oil shortly afterwards.

Thru the top cleans the combustion chambers, intake and valves and I personally would never put a solvent in the oil unless the motor was clogged up and about shot already.

Could do the sea foam spray , through the throttle body. It's a steam method.

No. And I wouldn't bother doing that unless you think there's sludge. In which case you've got serious problems that sea foam won't remedy.

Sea foam is petroleum based and won't hurt the oil.

It also has alcohol in it.
