ya my car seems quieter and MUCH smoother.

 

man, it didn't help me at all. oh well, it was still a learning experience!

 

What does it mean by "Dries Oil and Fuel" ?

Im still pretty skeptical. I would do it to my 215K mile S13, but not to my beloved Ludeski.

 

dryin the fuel means takes water out but dont know if thats what they mean by dryin the oil

 

Allright right dudes i have been selling auto parts at checker for 5 years and the only ones that buy the eliged(spelling?) magic potion SEFOAM are hicks and pick up drivers. all of you who have a can right now open it up and smell it. Basically SEAFOAM is deisel fuel. thats why you can use it on carbs. but you are not supposed to use it in your brake booster or in your F.I. car. it eats yes literally eats o-rings and other gaskets incorporated with fuel injection. that **** hasn't changed for close to 20 years. they didn't have FI cars bakc then. Think about it.

Thanks, your neighborhood parts guy

 

It says on the back of the can that you can use the brake booster line. I have seen many, many more positive results from seafoam than negative ones.

Do a search in the integra or civic forum and you will see what I mean.

Not to be an ******* or anything, or to offend you (Ludeinater), but I don't believe much of anything anyone has to say that works at an auto parts store like autozone or advanced auto parts. I guess its just where I live, but around here everyone that works at auto parts stores are idiots. "Hey man thats a tyte honda you gots thurr yo, do you ever street race? My home boy drives a turbo'ed civic..."

anyways....just my .02 cents

ouch that hurts i work at advance auto, and im probly the only one who doesnt act like that in my store if anything my customers are like that ''hey that honda got a vtec?'' ''is it a v6?'' and im like yeah?!? i gotta go to the back now.

and the bottle says 100% pure petroleum and isnt that what they make oil from so whats the problem?

and Ludeinater just cuz you work at an auto parts store doesnt mean you have tested all the products you sell and you dont know what happens to the motor over time with every product so dont pretend you do.

 

anyone else do this with a FI car?

how many miles did you have when you did it?

 

ok where can i get this in Canada, Montreal Quebec to be more precise, Area...?
thanks

 

Empathy, i believe by FI he meant fuel injected.

 

would anyone recommend this for a car with 180k h23? I really want to do it but afraid i might uncover some major leaks.... that will ultimately make my car poop!

 

One of my buddies has a Nissan pickup and we did it on his truck.

It helped out a little bit at first, but then his bottom end started giving up. But it was already on the go anyway. He was just trying to see if it would help his situation. He lost a lot of compression out of this, but then again he already knew this was an issue.

So what I got out of it it's that if you know your motor is still strong and is not loosing compression then it is safe to use it.
I'm going to be using it on my lude sometime soon but I already have plans to build the bottom end so I really have nothing to loose.

 

Next person who does it.....

Do a compression test before you use it.

Then do another one after.

I'd like to see if it reduces compression.

 

I am about to try it on my 240SX. It has a BAD hesitation issue. Let's see if this fixes it.

Do you guys think I can just put a whole can in the crankcase or should I do the brake booster inlet too??

 

man, is there anyone who done it long *** time ago? just to see the longtime effect..

 

no you should only put half the can in the oil but if it has alot of miles i whouldnt put it in the oil just the booster line and the intake

Well, I think there is something wrong in the head. Whether it is a stuck valve, or something, not sure. So, you think I should run half a can in the brake booster and the other half through the crancase??

Either way, I am not worried if it messes up the engine. I am already planning for an SR20 or RB20 swap. Right now just isn't the best time to get one.

I hope it fixes it.

Oh, my 240 has 144K miles. It's an 89.

you may think it runs better now, but you might pay for it later.....its a toss of a coin....

use a good fuel injection cleaner instead.....</TD></TR></TABLE>

I left mk1 Rabbit CIS injectors in this stuff for a week with rubber O rings on them as well. I took them out after a week of soaking in a sealed container. The Rubber O rings were in perfect shape. The fact that this stuff dissolves rubber and gaskets is false. Yes it will dissolve some soft rubber and dryrot it but not the kind that would be used in fuel systems or engines, probably a kind that would be used in rubber bands or something of that sort.

read above as far as the O rings go.

 

Hmmm, I stay away from internet bandwagons ever since that BULLSHIT about GM syncromesh. It fucked up my tranny. The only good that came out of it was that I had a mis-labeled f22 tranny in my h22 so putting in an h22 tranny worked wonders.

**** INTERNET BANDWAGONS

Test specimen: H23 w/ 154k

Compression before:

190 / 195 / 195 / 200

Then seafoam - 1/3 in brake booster, 1/3 in crankcase, 1/3 in quarter tank of gasoline.

Compression after:

190 / 195 / 195 / 200

This is using multiple measurements and taking a rough average. All measurements were in the +/- 5 range.

So proof - Seafoam does not hurt motors that are in good shape, only motors that are being held together by carbon build-ups, etc will see loss of compression. This is not because the Seafoam is bad, it is because the motor was going to fail sooner or later anyways.

 

GJ with the comp test.

Well Im gonna be changing my oil next week and the one question I have is how much gas should you have in your tank when u add the seafoam. Or does it even matter?

I just put some Pennzoil Syncromesh last weekend and feels good, so the jump right back on the bandwagon people.
