anybody have any good or bad experiences seafoaming their car? was thinking of trying it just to help clean out. any input appreciated thanks.

 

Do it. Then start using search.

The only way seafoam can do something bad is if you pour it all in vacuum line too quick and hydrolock your engine.

 

^ wrong. It is common for seafoam to foul spark plugs and o2 sensors which are expensive. if your car is really old and has a lot of carbon buildup on the inside it can also removes carbon from between the cylinder walls and piston rings which could lead to a decrease in compression. Also the same chemicals that remove the gunk also dry out the all the seals in your engine which could lead to huge problems. Overall it is very risky and not really worth it. there is no such thing as magic in a can

 

fasure id rather not risk it i hear a bunch of good stuff but then always the same complaints on it. ijust replaced my plugs so id rather not risk ruining them

 

I have used seafoam a few times and never had any problem, except one. In my Ford Bronco 4x4 I used it through the booster, and it fouled my cat. BUT that was because I did not have the air injection tube connected to the cat at the time. I have used it on my 94 Accord with no problems. I do it before I do a tune up, so I am replacing the plugs afterwards anyways.

 

so its best to do before a tune up? ill probably wait the next time around then cause ijust did tune up and have a v6 so those plugs get a bit pricey

 

I have always had good luck with sea foam...until a few months ago. I sucked it in thru booster line on my 03 silverado. It hydrolocked. It is now sitting with what I think is a busted rod. Haven't tore it down yet, but that is the result of primary investigation.

 

yeahh thats all bad
scary ****.. iwas thinking of maybe only using it in the crankcase and fuel system tho
