Exactly what I needed to know. Thank you very very much.

found out the hard way that it is not the smartest thing to do in a parking stall at an apartment complex hahaha. Definitely ran cleaner after though.

When it says crankcase does it mean directly into the valve cover where you pour the oil?

[Tulsa_S-13]

Yea I seafoamed the ole KA a couple of times, and it did seem to run smoother afterwards (Well, about as smooth as a KA can be )

Use the brake booster vacuum line to get it into the intake and be sure that if you do seafoam your crankcase to hardly drive the car that way. And yes, pour it directly into the valve cover where you would normally put oil.

Also, is your SR still knocking?

When doing the oil, change it about 20 minutes after adding it because it thins out the oil alot. You can also you seafoam to find exhaust leaks pretty easy.

dude, I gave you an in-depth report of how to Seafoam, I E-mailed you it...gosh!

[vutony]

i heard your only suppose to do it on NA cars and do it a few days before the oil change cuz it eats it up

iono??

[Logan76]

IVe done it on turbo cars, and N/A cars, You should do it Directly before oil change, pour it in, and let your car idle 5-10 minutes, NO LOAD, its known to thin oil out, ALOT, Dont take that risk, If put in your crank case, let her idle for a bit, then drain that old oil, and change it with new oil and a new filter.

Oooh, fun. I should do this in the next month or so when it gets near the oil change time.

[redtop91]

ROFLES! I didn't let it idle. Will the oil thicken back up? I don't have any money to buy replacement oil.

my automatic trans teacher showed me another way of doing a poor mans engine flush. What you do is you get a quart ATF fluid and you add it to the engine, and you let the car idle for about 15 minutes, then you do a oil change. It really works I tried it on the old KA and on the SR, after I did it to the KA I looked at the oil that came out and saw some sludge that must been stuck inside the engine.

[Logan76]

No the oil wont thicken back up, I E-mailed you awesome directions, Ryon, I would seriously change your oil ASAP if you put a bottle of seafoam in your motor and have just been driving it...

[redtop91]

I don't have any money to buy replacement oil.

dude, unless your running syntech, you can get it for like 3$ a quart + a filter...you need to get the money, or park the 240.
