Default Seafoam + RP <3

Well there was nothing particularly wrong with my car but it was due for an oil change so I figured I would give the Sea-Foam a try, never used it before.

So I ran it through 1/3 in crank, 1/3 in brake booster line, big cloud of white smoke as I revved the engine. After that damn its runs smooth now, I can't believe it, a huge difference in the idling, it just purrs now, seems to accelerate easier too.

Ran it hard for a good couple runs down the freeway, came home change the oil, put in Royal Purple and a K&N oil filter, a change from the usual cheap stuff that it normally sees, and I swear it feels like a new car.

Probably not a worthy of a new thread, but I am happy

I love hearing that, I'm in the middle of a b-series swap & the engine has a good amount of carbon build up so I plan on running some seafoam through it once I'm done the swap. Hopefully it will help & if it stills burns when it first starts up I have a new set of valves seals anyways

What I did. I removed intake, opened the throttle up to WOT ( engine shut off) And stared inside with a flashlight, into the carbon deposit/coated interiors of my car. It was solid black, like if painted black on the inside. Did the same AFTER running sea foam 1/2 brake booster line and 1/2 thru gas tank, and after that looked and I could see the metal color!! It truly works wonders, you really feel a healthier engine under your hood.
