Yea I hear ya. Sea foam has a nice rep. The only other good rep one I heard is GM's fuel additive, so idk yet.

I have alot of oil in my IC piping and also the EGR recirculating into the intake manifold. So I was hoping throwing some carb cleaner might clear up some oil gunk and carbon gunk that is probably building up in the manifold or throttle body. Also get some junk off the Intake valves.

With some of the rings shot, and the EGR recirculating I was just guessing there was some nasty crap in there. It needs to be sprayed into one of the vacuum lines on the throttle body, just seeing which is the best one.
