jake91 Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 okay so im finally thinking i will seafoam the cutty but i have a question im going to be getting another upper and lower intake to port. so if i were to seafoam now would it even matter. or would i just have to do it again when swapped that on? or so i can seafoam it now .is there anything i can use to clean the carbon out of the new upper and lower intake before i put them on the car Quote
Andrew Posted March 9, 2010 Report Posted March 9, 2010 yeah you can go ahead and do it now, then clean the new parts by hand before you install them. Besides, most of the buildup will be around the valves. Quote
rockfangd Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 honestly if you are going to pull the top end there is no point in seafoaming it. Just clean it when you diasassemble everyhing, Figure on about 4 cans of carb cleaner on the plenum. Remember do not use carb cleaner on the TB Quote

rockfangd Posted March 11, 2010 Report Posted March 11, 2010 If you are taking off the upper and lower intake then those are all as far down as you really have to go Quote
frank b Posted March 13, 2010 Report Posted March 13, 2010 The sea foam isn't going to clean all the surfaces of the intake. Either will spraying carb cleaner or whatever into the TB. Mostly just the valves and combustion chambers/pistons. If you try to clean those areas while the intake is off by spraying carb cleaner on them, your going to load up the cylinders and possibly hydro-lock them(liquid doesn't compress) and tear it up. Use the sea foam now, then while the intake is off, clean the TB and the new intake. Don't forget the EGR passages and the PCV. Can you post pics? Maybe one of the intake fresh off the engine to show us all just how dirty they get. Quote
