Cleaning Intake Manifold Of Oil
Hey guys so after reading all the horror threads about oil in the intake and catch cans I ordered myself an RX catch can (instantly). So this solves further oil in the manifold. But what can I do to clean out all the oil just sitting in there. I was thinking seafoam, but is it really that effective? I took a peek and there is quite a bit in there and I only have 12k miles. should i be worried?

It is terrifying isn't it. Rest assured though, the RX can is one of the best at removing all the scary oil.

I put my Vmax throttle body on shortly after I put the RX can on and while I was changing throttle body I took a rag and sprayed it with throttle body cleaner and used a stick to reach in there the best I could and cleaned it out! Mine wasn't that dirty and I got very little out of it! Good luck!!!

What would happen if the throttle body stuck open when accelerating?
