Main manifold vacuum hose

I have seafoam that I'd like to use to clean some gunk. Not sure where to look for the main hose that will "spray" into all cylinders.

Tahnks,

Are you thinking about sucking it in a vacuum line into the engine?

Yes, that's what the instructions indicate.

I wouldnt do that unless you have something to regulate and slow the flow of that sea foam into engine down.If you suck it in too fast you could bend valves.The brake booster vacuum hoses would be the best place to put it in.Also after it sucks in shut the engine off and let it soak to eat carbon up.Then later start it up and blow it.

Your welcome just make sure you slow that flow down.
