try doing the "steam clean trick first" could have carbon build up. just run the car at about 2k and use a vac line to suck a pitcher of water through the combustion process. do that till the exhaust steam is white. it should go white yellow white.

I've always used the brake booster vac line, seems to work OK.
About a gallon of water.

However long until you run out of water.

I know it's your daily driver, but if you can sacrifice going without it for a while, you could rebuild the engine on the cheap and before any housings get damaged.
