Anyone here use Sea Foam on your 2.2L engines?

 

Just used it the other day. I use the hell out of this stuff. It works with everything. Wal-Mart has it for the cheapest, almost $3.00 cheaper than autozone/Advance

 

An alternative I use is GM's Top Cylinder Cleaner

 

so what exactly does the sea foam do

 

what exactly does the sea foam do

 

I would say that I have seen SeaFoam mentioned on this site more than all the other sites put together. It is a decarboner.

 

makes a good smoke show

 

^Thats for sure

my brother did it to his 00 accord and you can see the smoke a mile away

 

what do u spray this on?

 

Both Gm TCC and Sea Foam are both decarboning agents, and their main use is the removal of carbon deposits in both the intake tract and the cylinders' themselves. I also use GM TCC to release gummed up piston rings and sticking valves.
Both are normally introduced to the engine thru a disconnected vacuum hose, or thru vacated spark plug holes - depending on your intended use.

so its not goin to hurt my f22b2 if i pour sea salt into the cylinders

 

What? Sea Salt?

Read the can - the product is called SeaFoam

 

i meant sea foam

 

in general it just cleanses your engine parts, muffler, and gas tank.

 

You're not going out to the beach and scooping up actual sea foam. This is a product called Sea Foam, it was made to clean out nasty, power robbing, carbon deposits.
If you pour ocean water in your engine you're gonna be really pissed off.

 

I wouldn't use it on a high mileage engine tho

 

Define high mileage. 150k, 200k? Why not, bad news for worn in engine parts?

 

i used to have a del sol and used seafoam for the first time at 180k miles. I gained a couple mpg afterwards and noticed it running a bit smoother. I sold it with around 200k on it and it still had no problems.

I have heard of other people having leaks after using it though. Some of the carbon deposits in the engine can actually be clogging up holes that you aren't aware of.

 

rotflmao!

 

As mentioned in the post below yours, sometimes those carbon deposits can be sealing up leaks from over time with leaky rubber gaskets and what not.

Toss in a can of Sea Foam and it'll eat all that away leaving you with some thinned out or non-existant gaskets.
