You know blow-by IS unburnt fuel right?
So when you decarbon your engine using seafoam or whatever product you will have residue left over of seafoam/whatever product in your oil still.
I'm done explaining simple logic to someone who ignores facts.

[quote=viprez586;4016335]Why not just run seafoam in your gas tank and/or oil.
Nowhere did you state the time period you would leave it in your oil.
Here"s an idea for you, just add water to your gas, that would save buying a water injection kit.

Going back to the beginning of
This thread, if you are going to use the vacuum lines either running to the rotor housing or the OMP nozzles, are there any sensors or precautionary steps before running your solution through. Also as a thought should it be done by pumping it through the hose while the vehicle is off or can the vehicles be running, in that case can it be in normal idle while you are applying the cleaning solution.

no there is nothing you need to do before running seafoam trough.
for rotor housing cleaning you have two options:
run it with car on
or
do it like in the other seafoam cleaning write up, the only difference is the location where you administer seafoam.

Other threads have said to remove the eccentric shaft position sensor, and crank the engine while spraying, but I have heard a lot of people sparying while engine is running as well. On my bottle of Mazda engine cleaner it says to run the engine.
Any one know a simple method of removing the hose from the throttle boot I just don't wanna mess around with it too much, just use a pliers I'm kinda clueless after I looked at the connection

Just a update:
I'm still averaging 0.8-1.0qts per 1,200 miles since doing this.
I plan on continuing to do this every other oil change along with my normal seafoam treatment. (I do it so often because I drive 90% stop-n-go traffic and can't always get the rpms up as often as I want to.)

Update.
I noticed that my car was barely if using any oil in 2.5k miles. Though I had been premixing pretty good.
Simply remove the 12' o clock tube and slowly let the engine pull in the cleaner of choice.
I have since then noticed oil consumption is back to normal.
When I initially pulled off the tube, the howl was pretty faint and weak sounding. After ingesting the cleaner, the sound became much more apparent and I could even hear the faint howl with the tube reconnected(which i did not prior). A few initial puffs of smoke exited the exhaust...I'm assuming which was blockage, followed by no smoke...just the beautiful smell of GM top engine clean.
I'd recommend having a helper rev the car to 3-4k so a hydrolock/ engine stall condition does not occur for those who are over zealous dumping cleaner in. Otherwise patience and quick short burst is vital.
I did 4oz of GM top engine clean since the stuff is very potent, otherwise I would have used a full bottle of seafoam, or until the smoke(carbon deposits) stops.
OH MAN I better go change my oil before my engine self destructs hey CRO8TIA?

Nice to see another successful cleaning.
Has anyone considered installing a restriction to the omp vacuum line to increase oil consumption? I was trying my best to read the info on the german forums about it. Looks real simple to do. I'm actually heading out to try to locate something that would work.

Well I had no success finding something that would work @HomeDepot/Lowes/PepBoys.... I came back home since I have to wait for the cable guys to show up and fix my home network again. While cleaning my trunk I found something that might work. It may sound ghetto but I'm just looking for function right now. I got a 6.5mm Socket with a small hole in it. It fits very snug into the omp vacuum line, and looks like it shrinks the size down by at least half.
I'm currently at 96,972 miles (almost 1,400 miles since my last oil change) I have only consumed about 0.8qts so far. BUT my driving habits have changed, I was moved to a different location slightly closer to home, and I now use the interstate to get to work and back. I think that has something to do with my lower oil consumption...
Anyway, I topped it off and will monitor to see if oil consumption has increased. I also did a quick omp system cleaning again (this time lots and lots of smoke). If this doesn't work my next plan of action will be the access port with MM tune...
My goal is for 1qt per 1,000miles (like all my Fc's were) oil consumption with 6oz pre-mix per tank as an extra precaution.

people accuse me of not being helpful, but after spending several years trying to educate people that this procedure is a complete waste of time and effort I have finally given up trying. There is so much folklore BS like this posted all over the forum and repeated over and over again by the clueless backslapping buddy club that it's not even funny any more. Your engine either has suitable compression or it doesn't. The only thing that will make any appreciable difference is a complete and proper rebuild. There is no magic elixir.

Well Team instead of replying with stupidity, why don't you try giving a little more info on why it doesnt work. You always seem quick to respond with things like you said earlier. Look at it from a different point of view. As far as I know your just a troll, posting useless things in threads.
People would be more willing to listen to you if you put some kind of fact behind what you say.
And when did compression come up? Were not even discussing that...
As for me, I'm no rotary specialist. But I'll continue to believe what I see with my own eyes.

Allegedly. Some expert builders believe that the Renesis is doomed to fail prematurely no matter what you do. There would have to be real scientific studying of many of the methods used on this site to extend engine life in order to prove they really work. Many of the things we do to extend the life of the Renesis are just shots in the dark really.

Your right 9k, most are shots in the dark. Your engine is a good example, with everything you tried to help extend the life of your engine, you were were doomed with a shitty rebuild, and a coolant gasket failed. There is nothing you can do about things like that. But I'm willing to bet money you will take the same precautions with your new engine, with or without facts to back it up cause in your mind (and many others including myself) it makes sence to atleast try.

Yep, I tried it.
A few months ago I noticed I had not used a drop of oil in 2,500 miles.
I shot 2oz of MMO in the vacuum line with my daughter holding the throttle at 2000 rpm.
Several moments later there was a large puff of smoke out the exhaust.
Now, 2,000 miles later, oil consumption has returned to normal!
It worked and couldn't be easier.
Thanks!!!!
