Is there some reason why you think you need to do it?

That stuff works good for storaging the car man, in the fuel system i heard it works wonders to stabilize the gas. Putting it in the vacuum line is another story... Seems harsh on the rings and cyl walls

Well my motor has 145xxx km on it so I'm assuming it would have some carbon buildup, plus it was running a bit rich so I thought I would just clean the motor out with this stuff. I was gonna do 1/3 gas, 1/3 crankcase, and 1/3 vacuum.

I seafoamed my car last week. 1/3 vacuum, 1/3 gas, 1/3 crankcase. I can honestly feel a difference in my car afterwards. Cleaner up/downshifts, doesn't idle as rough, and an overall more responsive drive. I can upload a video of all the white smoke coming out after seafoaming it.

Nah trust me, I could tell a difference right away with the engine. Seafoam does wonders. Still finding how to upload a video on this thing.
