when do you suggest runnin it on da new rebuilt engine
honestly if your engine was fully rebuilt you got some time before you really need to do it. Run some nice oil through her at every change and that thing will be clean as a whistle. But serisously maybe in a year or two you could seafoam but it really wont need much cleaning. -your lucky
Reason I asked is because I just manually cleaned a throttle body on the F*rd 460 in my motorhome, and I still want to clean the manifold but I DON'T want to have to remove it to do so. Too ugly a job. Was hoping there was a good DIY method for that part of the job.
The backside of the throttle plates were black and nasty. It had a slight catch when pressing the gas pedal down off idle it was so gummed up. I expect the manifold will need more than one cleaning--or do you think one 1/3 pint shot of Seafoam would be enough?
I would try and clean by hand as much as possible, its a PITA but well worth it. Then run a 1/3 pint through and you will be amazed, but some in the gas (believe an ounce for every gallon, run to empty and then refill) that way you will clean out the lines and injectors as well.
im afraid to run seafoam through the vac line with 104,000. i think i'll just put lucas in mine and the wifes gas tanks.
Oh dont worry about it, with 104 its prime for some seafoam, pull in a 1/3 pint through the vac line, wait 20 min, and watch the magic. it will do wonders, i just did mine 300 miles ago and have 213,000 miles on the clock, 104 was just breakin her in
