    Well, I truthfully, don't know if I am doing it as directed... But I remove the PCV valve and use my funnel to put the Sea Foam into the valve cover. Tell me if you think I am doing it wrong. Here are the instructions I read:

    "With engine warm, slowly pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint through carburetor or throttle body throat. (If vehicle is port injected slowly pour SEA FOAM through direct manifold vacuum line that will feed all cylinders, possible sources are P.C.V. valve or brake booster line.) This will pull SEA FOAM down on top of the pistons and to the back of the intake valves to dissolve carbon. Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 minutes. If severe carbon build up is apparent, use more Sea Foam as previously directed. Make sure exhaust is well ventilated when using Sea Foam in these various ways as fumes will be extreme for a short time."

    Zeus...

    If you poured it in the hose rather than into the valve cover, wouldn't it end up in the intake manifold?, instead of on top of the valvetrain...just a thought.

    im not sure the best way to add it.. i dripped seafoam in through the tube that goes into the intake right before the manifold.. produced a lot of smoke out the exhaust so i think it worked? or the smoke could have just been the seafoam combusting in the chamber

    I think you guys are right. I get lazy sometimes and do things the easiest way I can! I'll try it your way next time and see what happens.
