my friend has a cx motor with 230k on the motor, would seafoaming it casue it to wear out faster? and would doing so make it run a bit smoother and possibly better acceleration?

seafoam is unpredictable, I have seen it do some good things, but I have also seen some bads things happen when using it.

Use water, it works, do a search if you don't believe me. Basically steam cleaning your engine, all naturally though.

yea.. my buddie is pretty broke.. still in high school but still wants to get some decent power in his hatch. will seafoam like blow a motor up since it raises the temperature?

Why would seafoam raise the temperature, you need to stop posting and search more.

Seafoam is not going to give you any huge power gains

in my mustang, my hatch, a buddies accord, and my brother-in-law's 140,000mile escort, worked well as far as idle, and smoother acceleration. it removes all the carbon buildup etc inside the intake and in the head. 90blackcrx is correct, you wont see any power gains, but as for better idle and smoother idle, this is true. i havent seen anything bad come from it, nor heard anything bad from it. just follow the instructions.

If it isnt broken, don't fix it. I've heard good and bad about seafoam. I for one wouldn't let it touch my car with 205k. -Shrugs-

i seefoamed my 175K CX motor (I dunno why either)
nothing really happened, its cleaner though. Technicaly, if it cleans your pistons well, you can lose power. Cleaning off the carbon build up will lower compression.

I ran seafoam through my 180,000 miles 93 Si with no problems.

all seafoam is a decarbonizer and if used properly it is not going to hurt anything
