Seafoam works.

You can add to your fuel tank at anytime. When you add it to your oil or intake, you should do it right before an oil change. Maybe 500 miles prior.

So this would be a good time for me to use seafoam since I just had the PCV cleaned? There is still smoke coming from the dip stick ?

Thanks

Pour it down the hose coming from the cam tower into the oil seperator. Change oil soon thereafter

From their web site: "The most frequently asked question about using Sea Foam is as follows: “After using Sea Foam in my oil, fuel, or through the vacuum line (to clean carbon from the combustion chamber) do I need to change my oil?” The short answer is: No you don’t have to change your oil after using Sea Foam in any application.

When using Sea Foam in your fuel or through the vacuum line for carbon cleaning your oil does not need to be changed. Using Sea Foam in your oil, at 1 ½ ounces per quart, is a safe way to clean a crankcase, free up rings or free up sticky lifters as you drive. Sea Foam is not a chemical engine flush and therefore, it will not damage internal engine components or plug the oil pick up screen. Sea Foam is a pure petroleum blend with no chemical additives and is safe for long term cleaning or short term pre-service cleaning.

Sea Foam is a blend of highly refined additive oils and is compatible with all motor oils including synthetics. It is safe for all internal engine components and will not affect any seals, gaskets or o-rings. Sea Foam cleans oil deposits and varnish in your crankcase by safely/slowly re liquefying the old oil residue so contaminants may flow and be filtered. The longer Sea Foam is in your oil the cleaner your crankcase will become. When adding Sea Foam to clean oil, for long term maintenance cleaning, you must check your oil periodically for color and clarity, when your oil looks dirty change it. Because you added cleaning oil (Sea Foam) to your oil you may have to change oil before the expected service interval.

When adding Sea Foam to dirty oil before an oil change, for best results use 1 ½ ounces per quart of oil at least 100 miles before oil is changed."

I just used the one into the vacuum tree. And you don't need a 2nd person, the throttle cable is right there under the black cover you'll have to remove to get to the vacuum tree and you can tug on it with your other finger.

Hi Tiana.

I did it on my own, controlling the flow into the vacuum hose by pulling it out when needed, it was easy.
I took a hose that's attached by a metal clip to the radiator fan cage, on the upper side in the middle (I'm not sure whether it is called so but ...).
You let the engine run, disconnect the hose and if there's vacuum on it, it is a good hose for sea foaming.

Good luck .

I am not sure which clamp you are talking about.
The hose I disassembled had no clamp, it was connected to a plastic T shaped splitter tube.

Sorry.
