[V8] Seafoam

[S_Matus]

Steve - 

Did you notice any issues with clogged Cats or larger chunks (dust, or larger) carbon emanate from the exhaust pipes?

Would you recommend removing the exhaust during cleanout to protect the cats?  What is the opinion on this?

I'm concerned that large pieces of carbon could damage the aluminum cylinder walls.

I may take this option, just to see what will happen.

Scott.

... I followed the directions on the can.  In my case I did not pour it 
into the tank, but sucked it in via the intake.  I pulled off one of 
the vacuum lines for the vapor canister to introduce the Seafoam to the 
engine.  As I recall I warmed the engine a bit, and then sucked the 
better part of a bottle into the engine.  The goal is to suck enough in to 
stall the engine ... I found this a bit difficult to do.  I then left 
the engine sit for a few hours ... and fired it up.  Good grief, the 
motor smoked for quite some time, but once the stuff worked out I haven't 
had any oil smoking problem since ...
