Spent the last 2 hours rereading the various posts about using Seafoam.
Seems like the stuff is a cure-all. Ive got a 88 XJ with 260,000 miles on it and just finsihed installing a set of Ford Fuel Injectors.
What I noticed after I had the old Renix FIs out was that the ports for them (really further inside the intake then the actual port) were encrusted with "carbon/varnish/gunk" and I used a .45cal bore brush to remove the stuff before installing the "overhauled" Ford Injectors.
All this gunk got me thinking that maybe I should just pull the intake and scrape the gunk out but then I thought of Seafoam that alot of XJ owners here seem to use.
BUT does this stuff really work??? I know the carb cleaner I was using to blast out the gunk aroung the FI ports seemed to disolve the gunk very easily but Im sure that this gunk is "deep" inside the intake.
SO other than smoking up/poluting the air in my neighborhood can I expect real results with Seafoam? Would this stuf really loosen and remove the build up in my XJs intake? Has anyone pulled down an intake or engine after Seafoaming it to see if the stuff really cleans out gunk?
