Sea Foam Question

[justin99]

I am getting ready to sea foam my 02 V8. I heard that going in through the pcv valve is proabably best. My question is, how do you inject that in? Do you just remove the pcv valve and pour it in there or what?

I believe you are supposed to remove the vac. hose from the pcv valve and either use an adapter or funnel of some sorts to let it suck it up through there........Due to the ungodly location of mine I just use the brake booster vaccum hose .... both hoses go to the intake manifold.

Start the engine while you have the vacuum hose in the can. The engine's vacuum will suck it up. You don't have to pour it in.

i have read alot and im sure of what to do. my concern is that i didnt read anything with the 4.6 v8. with this in mind im not sure of the easiest vacuum hose to use.

If it's been a while since you changed the plugs....or you have no clue when they were last changed....now's probably a good time.....since the SeaFoam has sent funk their way At the very least check and see what they look like.

Brake Booster hose is the way to go for me and my Ford.....the PCV location on my 4.0 6cyl SOHC is in such an irritating place it would make Jesus want to slap his momma
