Just did the Seafoam

2002GTblkonblk · August 18th, 2008, 07:43 PM

Just did the seafoam tune up. Sucked it in the pvc tube and ran it let it sit then drove her around and opened her up and man did the smoke come out!!! I hope it helps, also put some in the tank and a lil bit in the oil.

I have a question... what is seafoam? what are the benefits of using it?

99mustanggtman · August 19th, 2008, 03:34 PM

be careful as too much use of seafoam can be harmful to the rings and skirts of the pistons as seafoam is highly corrosive, if you use it a couple times no harm tho

HBK_2007 · August 19th, 2008, 04:09 PM

how often should one seafoam?

cliffyk · August 19th, 2008, 04:45 PM

Never, unless your engine has been so improperly maintained that you have one or more of these problems...

Seafoam was developed in the 1930s to flush out marine engines (hence the name) that were run in cold waters, or that sat unused for months with no preparation for proper storage.

It's a last ditch effort to make up for sins of the past, and can and often does do more harm than good on a well-maintained modern motor.

This is the first time I did it. I heard it cleans the carbon buildup in ur motor. I only sucked in a 1/3 of the bottle and then put the rest in the gas tank. Alot of smoke came out so Im assuming it cleaned something out.

I wouldnt do it often. My car has 43,0000 so i prolly wont do it for another 40 or so.

sea foam is not good for high mileage motors..

when it frees up carbon build up and what not..
it also causes knocks and leaks cause the buildup was preventing it from leaking..!

if your goona do anything..

go to mr tire.

and ask for a injector service.!

they have a pressurised can they hook to vacum..
than throttle body spray..
and gas additive.

for 40bucks..!

soo amazing!
