This is more a product review than anything but just to let all know, seafoam is not only beneficial for you vehicle, it is also FUN as SH*T to use. It cleaned my intake, throttle body, injectors (just about any place any carbon or coking was occuring in my KADE). Absolutely a riot too as it will create a blanket of fog that will cover damn near an entire block. Keep checkin this post. I'll attach pics soon!!!

Sorry about not having the pics up yet. Check later tonight. You can buy it at Napa for like 6 bucks and it will not damage the vacuum hose u use to apply it (I used my brake master cylinder hose as it fed directly into the intake and provided tons of suction). As far as wires go, I wouldn't put any liquid on any wires (= short circuit= repair money I don't have). 1

the problem with using the hose you call brake master cylinder hose(brake booster) is that it only reaches cly number 4. if you use the hose that comes off the crank case and into your intake it will get all cylinders.

I had no problems. Not to mention that it fouled everyone of my plugs (not just the number four... which means it was getting to every cylinder) My entire car's response is up, no strange noises, etc. Worked for me. But don't listen to me. Try it out urself everyone. 1

Yeah, the pics are nice but they don't really show just how thick and massive the cloud really was. I did find out that someone called the po-po about it and that they (the cops) said it was just fog off the river!!!! HAH!!!

you can also put it in your oil to help clean the inside of your engine. I put some in drove about 10 miles and then changed the oil.. A few days later the oil was dirty again meaning the seaphone lossened up a lot of dirty crap. Oh amd I put it in my gas tank also... Learn from my mistake use 93oct and fill that bish all the way up. The seaphome doesnt mix to well with gas and if the gas is to low your car will die till you blead it out.

You should not drive with the seafoam in your oil.It makes your oil very...can't think of the word.... it will be like water. it will loose all it's lubrication properties. Suppose to let it idle for 5-10 minutes. Luckily your engine didn't spina rod bearing.Makes the oil very thin...

I read somewhere else (i think) that you are supposed to rev the engine to 2k or so for 5 to 10 mins after its added. but somewhere else that your just supposed to let it idle for 5 to 10. Will revving hurt the engine because of the oil being thin?

I have a 89 240sx and it could probably use a good seafoaming.

If ur using it in the oil, let it run at idle for 10 minutes then shut the car down. Drain oil, change filter, add new oil. Done. If ur using it in ur intake, u have to hold the rpm up just to keep it running while it is being applied. Then, when all the seafoam is in the intake, shut the car down and let it sit for 10 min. Restart and run at 2000-2500 rpm for five min, then let it idle for five min (this is where you get all that wonderful smoke!!!) If using it in the gas, treat it like any other fuel injector cleaner, just pour and go. I do not recommend using more than 1/2 a can though in the take and 1/2 a can in the oil. Use 3/4 in the intake. Hope that helped and have fun!!!! 1

No...read all the threads on it. The stuff is amazing. You have NO idea how poorly your car is running until you use it.
