Seafoam/Other Top Engine Cleaners...

Has anyone used these with any success?

I'm contemplating using this here. Is it best to introduce it via a vac line or right into the TB?

Thanks! :hshake:

funny u should ask this....i just bought some today for the old camry, almost 200k on it
well the guys over at yotatech.com swear by this product. i am goin to use the PCV line to feed it through. some use the vacuum line for the master cylinder but i think it might suck it in too quick. this one guy at yotatech hydrolocked his engine with this stuff. he ran it through the master cylinder vacuum line.

It's UNREAL smoke fest, I mean some neighbors may call the FD on you, No shit.
I would do it after dusk and it's good for mosquito killing. I used the vac line and
you need to keep it going slow enough to keep it running for 2/3 the can, then flood it with the last 1/3 and let sit for 30 mins. Then get ready to laugh your
ass off.

Yeah, I've used the stuff in everything from my truck to my outboard motor. It works great. I just used it through the vacuum coming off the brake booster. just get someone to keep it idled up for you and use a little at a time. let it kinda bogg down, then catch up then a little more, then catch up, that sort of thing. then when you finish the can turn it off and let it sit for 5 min or so. Then go smoke the neighbors and take it down the road and get on it a couple of times. Thats all I ever do. Oh yeah, depending on how many miles you have on it its gonna smoke like you won't believe while you're pouring it in. Like your neighbors are gonna think your trucks on fire. Then I usually do it every 30k or so but it never smokes like the first time...Zed :twocents:

I believe it's supposed to get rid of all carbon buildup inside the engine.

I just poped off the intake tube, disconnected the maf and sprayed the stuff in while truck idled. I shut it off and let it sit. I also sprayed alittle throught the top pcv inlet.

you can do the cylinder clean with the liquid stuff.
From LS1tech,:
I bought 2 bottles and a plastic squirt bottle.
remove plugs shoot equal amounts in each cylinder, let sit for 3 hours, (anymore I heard it gets too much in oil)
than crank it over for about 15 seconds.
use alot of rags and clean up the mess.
Throw the old plugs back in and run it for a little while, until the smoke stops.
Change the oil and plugs and your back in business.

Man, I poured some into my F150 today (115K) that looked like the 'hood was on fire! :laugh:

Oh man, good times. Tomorrow is the Z and then a 175K LS400!!! ahhahahaha

where are you getting the seafoam cleaner from.

The local O'Reilly here on hwy 6 has it as does the one on dairy Ashford. It's a funky looking can...more like an old school label :D

I ran another can through the ol' Ford and smoked more than before, must be a LOT of build up in there! :laugh:

This stuff sounds great. Where exactly should I pour this stuff in at for the best results? How long will the smoke be running out of the exhaust? I don't want to go to work for a couple of days with the truck blowing smoke :laugh:

Get a lil funnel and induce it into the intake via the large brake booster hose. Pour it very slowly as you do not want to kill the motor. I used two cans per vehicle...one full can for the fuel supply and one full can for the motor side. When you have about 1 cup left...dump it into the funnel. Then if the vehicle is still running turn it off.

Go do something else for about 10-15min...I recommend perhaps a beer with your buddies over for some cheap laughs coming up soon. :smile:

It should smoke for just a few min...5-10 tops. That Lexus smoked a LOT as it's got 175K on it. I went up and down Memorial Dr and it was still coming out! :laugh:

Sure hope it will work well for you too.

My cold start knock is pretty much gone too, that's on a 76K mi motor also.

Yeah I was going to say you should notice it running better. Some say the motor gets some of its pep back...Zed

I used this stuff on mine ... I put it in with half a tank of gas and ran the shit out of it. I pulled the intake off 2 and a half tanks later and the intake runners were SPOTLESS. It looked like you could eat off of them they were so clean.

I think I'm gonna try the run it straight idea for the GrandAm and see how it runs ... I may try it with myt fiance's Mustang too.

Holy smoke! Literally! :eek: Funny stuff but must work great with all the smoke I got out of the truck. Then went out to romp on it with smoke pouring out the tailpipe. Even did a brake stall to smoke up the tires with it :lol:
The wifes Tahoe smoked even more than the truck. I'll need to get some more to run through the vette and blazer.......

Will I get the same results with this stuff if I just pour it into my gas tank?
I honestly couldn't tell ya what a brake booster hose was...much less be able to pour a can of seafoam through it. :duh:

I think I'm gonna run a can through my gas tank before I install the radix :thumb:

Ran a can through my brake booster line and everything happened like you guys said. Tons of smoke for like 10min.....anywyays.....I was doing about 40mph up through town and I had my foot just barely resting on the accelerator to keep the same speed but my truck started making sounds like I was pushing the pedal and letting off...like reving the engine. Only it wasn't as loud as if I were actually doing it.
So does this mean my fuel pump was losing pressure?

Does it smoke by justing putting it in the gas tank?

Nope, you will not notice it.
