Thread: Seafoam?

Update:

Slapped in the seafoam yesterday. Filled the car up with Sunoco 93 octane, added it in three equal parts to the oil, intake manifold, and fuel system. Afterwards, the car started up and died a few seconds later. Finally started it after pumping the gas, it started but was idling very rough. Held the RPM's at around 3000rpm for about 60s. The thing was pouring out while smoke from the exhaust...I think I smoked out everyone on my street, heheh. After that I got in it and drove it, for about 5 miles or so it was emitting the white smoke...then stopped. I took her for a nice drive, 60 miles on the Blue Ridge Parkway. Just changed the oil and put in some new plugs but so far I've noticed an improvement. Seems to idle better and just seems more peppy/responsive overall.

there ya go....see it does work .


a little...somtimes its barly noicable.

Hmmm, I always wondered about this stuff...

It works great for neglected engines. I once had a car come into the shop with under 12K miles of just really short trip driving. It had a missfire so I took a scope and looked in the cylinder. WOW, cruddy! So I took some seafoam and just dipped a small vacuum line into the can slowly until the can was empty. About half way through the miss went away, and it smoked like crazy!

When I was done I took the scope into the cylinder again and it looked nearly new. Huge difference!

If you don't have any deposits or anything you prob won't notice much of any difference. It will really help the higher mileage engines though.
