Default upper combustion cleaning - V6

looking to clean my upper cylinders this spring - utilizing something similar to seafoam or berrymans.

i know that using the break booster vacuum line aint the best because only the rear cylinders get the treatment.

others recommend using the PCV vacuum hose. the 2002 V6 has an internal PCV valve, no hose.

what other method can i use to get the product into all cylinders?

what about putting it in a spray bottle and shooting it down throttle body?

thoughts?

Thanks. Read that. That points to still using the PCV valve. As mentioned the PVC on the V6 is internal. No hoses.


Any other ideas out there?

There's a top end cleaner system that attaches to the fuel rail via the schrader valve and the car will run on it until it is emptied. This cleans the injectors as well as breaks up the carbon on the back of the intake valves, etc.
