Are you filling up at Pemex?
Seafoam is awesome. I got a lawn edger started after cleaning with it with Seafoam, it hadn't run in years.

I'd pull the mani off and clean it first, then seafoam. Are you running a catch can by any chance? How's your PCV valve? Looks like too much oil vapor is getting sucked in

Re: dirty *** manifold... sea foam??? (nonsense)
bone stock VX with 230K miles.. never touched the PCV valve, just spark plugs and cap and rotor.. nothing drastic.
but, i think im going to take my chances.. im due for an oil change anyhow, i think im gunna sea foam it, and then change the oil after a nice little run.

dude, change the pcv valve, they're cheap. I'm hoping water pump and timing belt wasn't on the "changed" list because they're irrelevant?

hahah.. yeah, i think im going to make a write up soon.. i just got done sea foam'in it.. and i think things are good.. but i wanna get a pic of the oil comming out.. but as of right now.. things look good.
lets see.
sea foam w/ manifold flush (deep creep)
plugs
cap
rotor
and now im thinking about fuel filter and the PCV.
after i change the oil.. maybe later today or tomorrow i'll post it up. but things look good.
(and yes, the waterpump and timming belt were changed on time)

My injectors looked like that too when I pulled them about a week or so ago. B16A2 with 57,000 miles on it. Nasty ****. Didn't know what the hell it was but I see some seafoam in my future. That ****'s nasty.
