Seafoam/Other Top Engine Cleaners...

[Hit Man X]

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!

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

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!

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

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
