the mechanic pulled a piece of cardboard out of the head and guess what was missing out of the fram

I'm pretty sure that's the right hose to seafoam with isn't it? Every picture I've seen it pointed out it in was that, and it seemed to work when I seafoamed.

no
you wana pull the hose going to the PCV valve so it distributes evenly

ItaliStang · February 20th, 2008, 08:06 PM

hmmm... I was told it was that one, man I feel like a jackass now....

teaches me to go passing on info I don't check on...

got any pics of the right one?
this is why I need a CAD diagram or an exploded view of the engine...

anyone happen to have one laying around?

The PCV tube is the one that goes from just right of the two bolts on the top "inlet" portion of the upper intake down to the valve cover.

That's stupid, but it's better than letting it go forever, I guess.

Maybe that guy just had OCD really bad or something.
