HELP adding seafoam to 2.7l pcv valve
I've been searching for a while now, and I haven't yet read the proper way to add sea foam to my 2001 tacoma 2.7l pcv valve. I removed the valve and attempted to pour the seafoam in the hole where the valve was, but it just got blasted out at me because of the air flowing out of the hole. Could someone PLEASE tell/show me how to add this magical seafoam to my engine!?

WAIT before you hydrolock it.
pull the hose off, and squeeze it about half shut. it'll seem like its about to stall out, but just squeeze it some to keep it running. SLOWLY pour the seafoam into the hose, it will suck it in. don't pour it too fast, you want the 'suction' to aspirate the liquid. and if it stalls, don't keep pouring.

The BB hose is the only one going to the big black round thing in the driver side rear of your engine compartment. But the safest bet would be to go through the PCV host, pinching it during the process. As long as you go slow and take your time, you'll be fine.
and then post some results too!

I used the smallest hose I could find on my 22RE. Let the vacuum suck the Seafoam into the intake and I controlled the rate by dipping the end of the hose in and out of the liquid. I used the vacuum line that runs to the charcoal cannister and attaches to the throttle body on mine. Worked fine.
