No, I don't think it's bad if you just pour it into the gas tank but it won't necessarily get everything out

Not bad but you'd be missing the intake and the top part of the valves because a DI engine never has fuel go through that section.

Prob better off just spraying it through the thottle body.

TJ91 · 03-15-2013, 01:40 PM

yeah just pour it into gas tank and spray it into manifold, hats all we can really do.

But im afraid the carbon build up will damage the cylinder walls more then anything

Just putting it out there, some problems with v6 motor, and PCV system on 10 & 11 models. I learned that cars in the cold weather have an issue with PCV system (info from Chevy tech) and might be the cause of burning oil. Problem corrected in new models. As I was loosing oil. Noticed it at 20k miles took oil consumption test, found heads were bad and had them replaced already. Sucks warranty is a one time deal. Everything but heads are still under warranty to 100k. So check oil consumption. Oh Chevy tech also says if car is driven hard its ok to burn 1 quart every 500 miles... I would have voiced my opinion but I was up to 2.5 quarts in 1k miles. So I had a two stroke limited edition for a bit lol. Anyone else having issues?

Do these rotors fit in an 18" wheel?

I get the gas tank, crankcase and TB portion, just not sure exactly where I want to be dripping in the rest of it to a vacuum line.

I'm getting ready to spring for a BG upper induction cleaning from the dealership and would be really interested in seeing a video of someone doing Seafoam through the throttle body . . .
