seafoam works! [merged]

[cranky]

I have been using seafoam in heavy equipment engines for years and I have seen it make dramatic differences in performance and idle quality. I recently had a problem with low power from my 91 talon. It felt like the computer was removing timing. Normally what I do is find a secluded spot because you will smoke down your whole neighborhood. Start the engine and let it get up to opperating temp. I remove a vacum hose and put it in the can and rev the engine to about 2500 rpm and suck the can dry. Shut off the engine and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Then start it back up and run it down the road, and run it hard. This will remove a substantial amount of carbon build up from the combustion chambers.

I got my oil changed after I put some in my crankcase but I still get a pop and a shitload of smoke shortly after heavy acceleration.

I'm interested in what trapspeed's problem is. I want to try this stuff but not until we find out what happen to his car.

Ever since I used this stuff I keep getting backfiring / white smoke that smells like the Seafoam burning. It's been a month and I've had my oil changed. It did however take care of my idle problem. I changed the sparkplugs, too.

Any power loss?

the only way to change your oil is to do it yourself.....unless your Defiant or bwhite, in which case you are too old to crawl under a car and have an excuse

We can crawl under just fine, thank you so very much.

It's getting back up that can be dicey.

hahahahahaha, ya old fart.

anyone use the spray? if so howd u use it?

The spray I believe is Seafoam Deepcreep.
I've used it before. Use it the same as the regular seafoam.
You can spray it into the vacuum hose and sparkplug holes. If you take the TB off, you can spray it all around the intake mani.

[yugotdonkey]

got a gasket leak some where >.< lots of smoke in the engine bay

 

[UVaJester]

I'm about to use this Seafoam stuff to help find/test for exhaust leaks, while cleaning the engine.. I think I may have a leak, but not sure.. but everyone says you'll definitely see the smoke if you have a leak..

i was postin on yugotdonkeys name but i did like they all said to suck it in through mani vac line and let it sit. took off and made the biggest cloud of smoke i ever saw!!! bad news was that i found a leak around the turbo housing >.< its gonna have to wait until i get money to fix. sh!t works great tho, id recomend seafoam to anyone

 

[Lof8]

has anybody noticed an increase in oil consumption after using seafoam through the intake? It seems possible that carbon deposits could come free that used to take up some of the slop in an old engine- causing more oil consumption.

sorry to bring back an old thread but i just ran seafoam through my car, and it is STILL smoking and ive got a CEL...what could be wrong?

Maybe you shouldn't have run it?

 

[AdoreGSX]

[ITSME4G63]

sorry to bring back from the dead btu Im wondering how many peopel had sucess with seamfoam beign put in with their 120k+ engine? thanks./

 

[nuggets]

i <3 seafoam. 120,000 miles? Why not, I'm sure it'd love a good seafoaming. Theres nothing wrong with seafoam. It is an awesome product and, like this post says, IT WORKS! I think i'm gonna pick up another can to throw into the gas tank soon. Gotta make sure those injectors are clean!

 

[leakyfaucet]

Gotta make sure those injectors are clean!

Why wouldn't they be?

 

[ITSME4G63]

cant u use 1 can for everything? 1/2 for engine, half for fuel tank?

 

[98spydert]

Yep, sure can

 

[AdoreGSX]

if i throw a can in the gastank do i need to change any fluids/plugs?

 

[SRiz]

just bought some today... ok im totally confused where to put the line is it stick the vacume hose in the can and the other end in the bov nipple or pull the bov nipple off and send it into intake manf.... and if its too bov will seafoam #### up turbo?

 

[psychlow]

It goes into the intake manifold, not the BOV.

 

[SRiz]

k thanx gonna try it tonight expecting BIG SMOKE CLOUD!!!! WEEEE my car has 100 k on it and was drivin by some dumb ass who hooked the vacuume lines up to make the turbo suge mmmmmm turbo surge...
