Don;t use Sea Foam, its almost worthless to clean the top end of an engine.

Go to a Dodge dealership and get MCCC (Mopar Combustion Chamber Cleaner). It does the job right and cleans every square inch of the top end, unlike the Seafoam that really just cleans a tiny portion of the top end.

Search MCCC and you'll find a thread on how to do it. edit: here it is: https://ls1tech.com/forums/general-m...highlight=mccc

Here's a thread with pics on how to spray it in:

It takes 1 minute and you don't have to worry about breaking the brake booster hose port while taking it off. The MCCC sprays right into the vacuum line in the front of the intake, easy.

I've used seafoam several times and my results has always been positive. The can says to only use 1/3 can to treat the top of the engine but I have found I get better results using 1 full can in the intake and 1 in the tank. Great product.
