[Shotimes] Intake Goo

[John Weidenbenner]

The goo comes from the crankcase ventilation system. The oil vapors are
drawn into the throttle body - the big black vacuum attaching under the
throttle body.

Some on the z28 list clean their intake by sucking "Sea Foam", a liquid,
througyh a vacuum line while the engine is running. The engine is shut off
and the liquid soaks for a while. The the engine is started up and clouds of
oil smoke spews out of the tainpipes. Presto - all done.

Disclaimer -  I have not tried this and don't have first hand experience of
the effects to the engine, etc.
