Everything back together, getting slight vacuum at the dipstick tube! Just in time for this east coast snowstorm.
Any suggestions on oil system clean out/cleaners? Seafoam, marvel, autorx, etc. what say you?

PS. Thanks for all yalls help! Great to have sites like this.

Some love these products some swear they are the devils production. Personally I use Seafoam in the engine and the oil. In the engine I add it to the tank if I am going to do a long run, and the oil maybe 100 miles prior to an oil change.
