Default Seafoam DIY Article w/ pics

I wrote up an article on how to use Seafoam in your teg. There are a few pictures along with detailed instructions. I hope some of you can use this.

yea very nice and good job you should have taken pics of the MASSIVE amount of smoke you will get , i was laughing hard as hell when i saw it all, it was soo funny because everyone looked

also you are surpost to let it stall out when it almost done sucking it in the vacuum tube, then let it sit for like 10 mins and start it up( it will be hard to start back up) give it lots of gas and drive it around the block with a few 100% throttle untill all smoke is gone

Nice writeup. i may consider this as a maintenance.

I'm nearing the 100k mark so it may be something worth considering.

Any more testimonials?

Thanks for all the props guys!

I have heard it's optional to put so much in your car stalls.

I would have taken pics of the ton's of smoke coming out but I was busy with the funnel and everything.

I will post a picture of my friends eclipse on my site soon. He had ton's of exhaust. lol

Stupid to do this on a Honda site, but..


I have a 95 Chevy astro with 140k on it. Would it be safe to do it on such an old car?

I do not have a brake booster cable. I do however have a vacuum hose on the back of the intake box (don't know where it leads).

Shouls I just put 1/2 in the crank, and 1/2 in the gas? Any suggestions?

Ya dude any vaccum line will work fine. Put 1/3 through the vaccum line, 1/3 crankcase, and 1/3 gas tank.

Also I have a new article on my site of how to change transmission fluid. See signature for link.

Out of curiosity, how is this different from motor flush?

Description:
Gunk 5-Minute Motor Flush cleans engines in 5 minutes. Add motor flush to cold engine before changing oil. Idle the engine at normal speed for 5 minutes. Motor Flush will circulate throughout the entire lubricating system of your engine dissolving sludge, gums, and varnishes from the engine and oil pan. It also frees sticky valves and rings.

I doubt there would be anything over a 1-2whp gain if even that. Not too many people want to pay for dyno time after using Seafoam so who knows. RPM smoothness is the most noticeable thing. I guess you could say there is some "performance" gain.
