After getting the injectors replaced and new gaskets for the intake plenum cover and bottom, I found oil in the plenum. I have had the injectors replaced twice in one year! the garage says (this time) that I plugged the injectors using seafoam (?)
I think this is too much oil in there, am I mistaken?
Thanks for your help!!!

 

this definitely doesn't look right. i don't think there should be ANY oil at any given time in there. i've heard so many neg things about seafoam... makes me think twice about using it.

how's performance? you notice anything different?

 

i might be a noob but ide say thats quite the problem lol.

 

From wat i hear thats normal cuz i have oil there also....i was told to clean the pcv....try doin that.....

 

i think it's normal (a small amount anyway) from what i've seen/read in the thermoblock/EGR cleaning thread.

i just tried to do mine today. you wana see bad? check it:


(2003 TL)
that's 1st time looking in 7years(158k miles)

 

normal, if you're worried about install a catch can.

 

DamN that looks filthy

 

mine was squeaky clean after oil catch can install.

 

perfectly normal amout of oil there- just wipe it up
there is always some blowby, thats why a pcv system to vent crankcase or it would explode.

Seafoam does not plug your injectors!!!- your tech doesnt know much or was looking for a reason to sell you injectors when all you needed was some seafoam to clean them!
or redline SI-1 if you fear seafoam

 

That is normal. We all have that.

 

I guess i won't have to freak out when i clean the EGR ports and do the IM spacer soon.

Don't talk bad about seafoam, 01tl4tl will get on you!

 

I just dont like bad incorrect info about any product being spread without facts to back it up
You can love or hate any product based on personal use,,, or tales a tech told you~

I love redline products too- even though I only used a few items of their line, I assume they are all good.
Based on experience using it in the shop and my own cars,SI-1 is awesome fuel cleaner, but works differently than seafoam and cant be used in other areas besides direct in the fuel tank,,so its great for its intended use

 

wouldnt a oil catch can help this

 

its not a real problem for the engine but yes- you could in some states without smog laws...

 

I read a while back that installing a oil catch can is just as good installing a breather filter...I have a breather installed, but I do not know if it would help this...?
