You would think that makes sense.. Next time remove the plugs after and look at them, you will be surprised what you see. I change mine after doing a Seafoam treatment

I want to do this soon, but the thing that is worrying me is that even with the "how-to" available, I don't know where the hell those vacuum lines are located exactly. Also, I'm afraid of pulling them off and ending up tearing one or several.

Anybody want to take a few pics of their engine bay and show me what to look for? I'd appreciate it!

I'm going to be getting my 10k oil change in 2 weeks or so, do you think I should sea foam my engine, or wait for 15k?

I did my Seafoam in 15k intervals & it smoked just as much as the first time. If you live in a colder region you'll have more carbon build up, due to richer running conditions. It's at your discretion. My spark plugs looked normal at 30k after seafoaming 2x. If your tuned generally I've read people changing them every 10k miles or so. But I'm 100% stock

I did this awhile ago with my SRT-10, people thought someones house was on fire cuz the smoke carried 2 blocks away. I poured a can in my tank with 1/4 of a tank of gas, 1/4 a can in my engine oil (was doing a oil change the next day) and the rest in the brake boost line.

I think a better location to pour seafoam into would be through the evap purge valve location, its in the middle of the intake manifold and its the furthest back, this would give the most even distribution. The vacuum port at the top is too close to cylinders 2 and 3, while the brake booster port is near cylinders 1 and 2.
