Default Plenum/PCV/Seafoaming Cleaning tips needed!

Today I was bored so I decided to check out my pcv valve and everything up there and clean the flame trap and whatnot.

What I found was a huge pit of carbon and filth.

I took off the hoses that go from the flame trap to the PCV valve and then to the throttle body and cleaned those and the pcv valve (the smaller side was completely clogged :O) and btw the PCV isnt a 1 way valve of have any flappers or any complicated thing btw. I assume its a T shaped part with one smaller opening.

Anyways I have cleaned out that part of the engine, I want to get into the plenum chamber and get all the carbon out because I can look into the throttle body and see all the crap in there and want to clean it. I have been using gum cutter so far to clean all the tubing and whatnot

How do I run seafoam through the top end of my engine so that It will clean my plenum chamber and all the other random hoses on the intake part of the engine??


I am pretty sure I have a vacuum problem, I dont know where some hoses go and my vacuum resivoir is just sitting there with no hoses on it I cant find a diagram of how the vacuum system works in the Rover CD either. Does anybody have a picture or diagram, link ect on how to help with this??

I am considering just taking everything apart and cleaning it but I figure that I will probably break something

So will running seafoam clean my engine well ( I can do it more than once if needed i assume) or should I take it apart and go nuts?

Do I need to change my oil after induction seafoaming?
