seafoam is stuff that you put in your engine and it cleans it out. goes in valvecover, brake booster and one more place.

Oh yeah, that stuff. Now in case I do find some, do you mix it with the fluids in those systems, or drain the fluids, and run it through? If I find a lot I'll take orders, and ship it our to yous.

you pour 1/3 of the bottle into the valve cover then run it for a little(smokes alot) then change your oil. another 1/3 goes into your brake booster and i think you can leave it there, and the last 1/3 goes in something else and i think you can leave it too. i think im correct on this but you can do a search and verify my answer.

the third area is the gas tank. and if you have more than one bottle then you can use more than 1/3 in each area.

Also, they have it at Autozone. I've been seeing it more and more lately. Pretty much every auto parts place in my area is carrying it now.

I've never thought of useing it, but with 116k+ miles, maybe I will. What kind of cost are we looking at and is it really worth it?

Yeah it should be right about five bucks a can. Best thing if you're putting it through the valve cover, etc. is to do it right before and oil change and spark plug change. Do them right after, you don't have to, just a little better. It is a white can that says Sea Foam in red cursive writing. It says it is for autos, boats etc. It should be with the other cleaners, degreasers, greases and stuff like that. Good luck.Josh
