Seafoam

MustangMatt96GT · May 16th, 2007, 10:50 PM

Okay so I have been thinking of running some seafoam through my car, and have a few questions. First question is: Is it safe to run this throught a car with 122K miles, will I ruin any seals or gaskets? Second is: How do I exactly do this? Do I have to change the oil once I am finished? Third is: What would Engine Restorer do for my engine? Is it safe and do I need to change the oil after doing that as well? Thanks!

I just want to use a nice engine restorer/ cleaner because my engine has never seen any before! Thanks!

where do you get that at??

Casper98GT · May 17th, 2007, 07:38 AM

Do a search.

I have talked about it in a few posts before.

Its safe, run it through. No need for an oil change.

i have run it through alot of different ways, in the gas, in the oil, through a vacumm tube and they all do work if different ways for different things. you ought to be able to get it through any parts store we sell it the part number is sf16 it a whopping $5 a can, they also make a trans tune that cleans auto valve body out nicely

depending on how you use it....seafoam is a 3 step cleaner....you use 1/3rd in you oil...1/3rd in your gas....1/3rd in you vacume system....i used it on my cavi and it has 145k on it and it worked great...now if you use it in yo oil i personally would change the oil after bout 500 miles of it being in there....the rest will clean itself out....make sure you do this in a place that is WELL ventalated...dont do it in a garage....when it goes threw the vacume system itll smoke like hell where it is cleaning every thing out

makes a nice smoke screen when you are trying to hide for the cops when playing cops and robbers. youll see the cloud for a mile its pretty funny. when you put it in people will come over and ask if you are having problems

yea i just put it in mine a couple of days ago with caspers advise the shit works like a charm. mines got 124k on it and i do belive it brought some life back in the old girl lol. the smoke well yea that was fun haha going down the road looking like i blew every rod and piston out of my car for about 2 minutes loved it. and yea if doing vacum also, pour it through the pcv valve which in case you dont know is on the passanger side valve cover pour it slow it will wanna die if you pour fast

all this advice came from casper thanks

MustangMatt96GT · May 17th, 2007, 10:31 AM

Yeah Casper I tried to search! No luck!

THanks and I am going buy a can of it later.

Casper98GT · May 17th, 2007, 11:07 AM

MustangMatt96GT · May 17th, 2007, 01:26 PM

Hey Casper non of the questions I asked were in the search that I did! Maybe I dont know how to use the search lol

I think I might bideo my stang with this maybe! lol

ujslost · May 17th, 2007, 11:06 PM

the search NEVER gives me anything.

Dennis · May 18th, 2007, 12:00 AM

I used the seafoam 4 days ago on my 96 with 124k miles on it and its done nothing but bring life back in my car. It idles better, it runs smoother, seems to have the power it should have not the power it did have. I am a true beliver

love the shit. Just pour 1/3 in the gas 1/3 in the oil and 1/3 in the pcv valve which is in the passanger side valve cover. Shut it off wait 5 minutes fire it up drive around a while giving her hell to blow it out of the vacum system. The smoke stoped in about 2 minutes. alot of these directions are also on the can which i found out after hounding casper for directions lol sorry casper

Dennis · May 18th, 2007, 12:02 AM

oh and as far as i know if you use the seafoam in this manner its goign to do everything engine restore does and more so i dont think it would be needed dont quote me on that

MustangMatt96GT · May 18th, 2007, 12:13 AM

Well the can says to only use a 1/3 of a pint in the vaccum system, but should I use a third of the can?

Dennis · May 18th, 2007, 12:19 AM

uhh the can has a pint in it

MustangMatt96GT · May 18th, 2007, 12:21 AM
