 Subject: drawing in Sea Foam (intake)
IP: Logged
Message:
ok, dumb question time :-( I've used water and/or Sea FOam before, but I've always had a vac port for each cylinder. Now, once I am done with my intake swap, and want to de-carbonize, I am stuck for a way to be positive that it is reaching all 8 cyls. I thought about drawing it in through the brake vac line or PCV line, etc., but I am convcerned that it will not feed all 8.
Since I have my new manifold off the truck right now, what if I drilled a small 1/4" hole in each runner and plugged it with a pipe plug or threaded in a nipple. I could douse each cylinder for sure that way and it would be easy. Or, do I have my head up my a$$ and should dump it in the throat and be done.
Yes, I tend to overthink and get carried away :-)
Thoughts?
THANKS!

Can you edumacate me on the use of Sea Foam? What is it and what is it used for? I have seen several references to it among different posts but have not concluded its actual use?
I have a 2000 with 101k on the 4.7L motor.

it's a top-end(combustion chamber, intake valve) cleaner. it helps get rid of excess carbon buildup on the intake valves and combustion chambers. i've purchased it @ o'reilly's auto parts. works pretty good just follow the directions.

OK, I'll just do that then :-)
Sea Foam is also safe for use with the 02 sensor.
I'm going back out to scrape off some gasket material and a final prep and parts count for the job. After tomorrow night I'll be getting started. I charged my batteries to take some digital pix too.
