I figured I did the Seafoam Spray, I have tried Seafoam in the Gas and Oil. Dollar Store had MMO for $2.49 and it's been around for almost a century. I usally avoid additives, but I figured what the Hell.

Did you remove your Intake Plenum or did someone else help you? You did post pics of that didn't you? Have you cleaned those tubes and stuff yet? I have been contemplating that course of action.

I am curious as to what condition mine is in as far as cleanliness in there and the valve covers as well, I just hate to start pulling the motor apart if I do not need to.

I know I need to eventually do the Fan clutch, I have a thermostat but mine has not been overheating yet, but I do want to be proactive/preventative where possible.

The plenum and other gaskets and bits were done by "my mechanic" last june...before I knew what an intake plenum was. he cleaned it all out and hopefully did a good job.

we did the fan clutch too but used the SD fan from Advance in the write ups. works well, pretty cheap and makes some good extra sound. I'll share the info with you if you want it but you can find it easy. I have all the part numbers and it'll be an easy job for you. Sava coached me through it. I also had a metal fan cut but it turned out to be the wrong direction so I'm using the original plastic one. id like to go metal again when i can.

Slang,

I guess being Gemini and BiPolar gives me quite a few viewpoints as well as A good Side, A Bad Side, A Well Side and A Sick Side. Makes it hell to try and decide just what to do when.

Throw in the side effects of things like Ambien and some of the other medications, no telling when or where I may show up and which one of my personalities will be the one you see. I have awakened in some of the damndest places and have heard some really wild stories about things that I supposedly said and did.

I see you live in Kennesaw, been up on that mountain quite a few times. I went to Southern Tech for a while after I got out of the Navy. Savannah was a career student there as well.
