I may give it another shot tomorrow and see how I do... one problem is that I have some really carbonized valves. Way worse than I thought, and I was having trouble with the walnut media just sticking to everything in the port. It did seem oily still, an my intake manifold was a mess! I never cleaned it after installing the catch can, so there's a chance its just residual oil, but I don't know. More to come...
Too bad. Might have to try the manual cleaning method, which is much more labor intensive.
