Hi All,
Has anyone seafoamed their engine using an accessible vacuum line?? I have looked for the brake booster line for hours, but the windshield wiper assembly seems to be in the way.

​​​​​​​Is there another vacuum line that could suck that liquid gold in my engine to clean her out??

I'd like to see it. If I decide to keep my 08 I was planning on foaming it.

Sure, I will write something up today. The pics didn't turn out well, but I should be able to write something that makes sense. The just of it is that you get the seafoam with the straw and shoot it in the throttle body. It is a very safe method because it wont hydrolock the engine or cause a misfire or check engine light. I'll start a new thread with the DIY
