Is there a way I can use the seafoam stuff to clean out whatever deposits have been left in the manifold? I want to make my oil seperator this weekend and I want to get everything cleaned out first.

if the intake is off, use Castrol Superclean. this stuff works awesome.

spray it on. let it do its thing for a few mins. then rinse off.

Dont worry about it...I put my oil separator on and within a week I could see my intake spacer had dried right up...It was soaked with oil...So it wont take long to dry up the oil...
In 1200 miles or so, I emptied my separator 3 times....

I vote to put the separator on first. In 1000 miles I have not even turned the filter oil color on my car... still not sure where a half quart of oil goes every 1k miles though....
