I read so much about it on all of the threads on HT, so i thought i'd give it a whirl. Since my car has like 128,xxx miles on it i was a little worried but at the same time since i use 92 octane fuel only i though it should not be too bad. I poured in half in the brake booster and half in the crank case. Since i just did two bottles of fuel injector cleaner a week ago, thats why i didn't put any in the gas tank.





It did smoke up the neighborhood quite a bit. I felt sorry for my neighbor who left his windows open. I went and took it for a "spirited" test drive for about 10 - 15 min. till the smoke subsided. I changed oil after i came home form the test drive also. The car is running like a million bucks and i did feel a little bit more throttle response and just over all a more smooth running car. I thought it was worth the 5.69 it costed.
Sorry for the big *** picts

Awesome stuff! I wanna try it now!

 

cool smoke! I just bought seafoam a couple days ago... just waiting till i have time to do it..

 

All right!

I just picked some up earlier today! I'm planning on doing the same thing you did.

Did you do it yourself or did you have to have someone in the car feathering the throttle so your car didn't die as you were sucking the Sea Foam in through the brake booster?

How did your oil look when you changed it? Could you see the carbon in it?

 

i'd do it to my da9 with 1255XX on the clock, but i heard its bad for older higher mileage cars as the carbon buildup in the cylinders has prevented leaks and such.. if i do seafoam, all that will be bye bye and my car might run like ish.. right? or so thats what a grip of people here on h-t have told me

 

did u drive around? lol i heard ppl who use this drive around to get rid of the smoke.. if i were to do this i would have to go somehwere my neightbors are bitches

 

That's awesome.

Welcome to the Sea club!

 

i did it myself due to the fact that no one was around and i some how feathered the throttle with one hand while pouring with the other..

 

i went to this rich neighborhood and just rallied the f*ck out of it...

 

I know i could probably search but this is just as easy. Where can you get this stuff?
Thanks

 

I went to NAPA

 

Would this really even benefit my car. I have a 01 GSR with 34k on it. I have been using premium.

 

dood your car's hot.. Looks just like mine, except for the gsr moldings..
glad to hear you have a overall good experience..

DA luv <33333

 

Wow, all that smoke came out of that? I'd panic if I saw that.

 

good job. nice car

 

i wanna do this to my mom's car. its a 1988 accord LX with 170k miles on it.. carbeautor. is the directions the same as doing it on a fuel injection?

 

if you don't use premium fuel then you have a better chance of building up more carbon in your motor. But over all i'd say it all depends on how well you maintain your car and also if you get on it(bring motor to high rpm) a little bit every once in a while will help burn up some of that carbon. This is just my opinion and i could be wrong, i'm not a pro by any means but i know the basics so believe what you want.

 

the directions are one the pict of the back of the bottle...(basically just take off the air cleaner and pour 1/3 pint SLOWLY into the carb, some people recommended a squirt bottle in some of the other threads.)

 

so what are the steps to using this you have to dump this in the crankcase then rev ur car and let it smoke n stuff then change your oil do i have that correct. also how much does this stuff go for

 

This stuff makes a very noticeable difference. Plus for like 6-7 bux u can't go wrong

 

nice photos of the can and of your car smoking. now can you provide testimonal to the results of seafoam beyond saying that you've just done the seafoam treatment?

there are already a dozen seafoam threads saying people have done it. Consider your contribution to the forum before restating what is already said on here.

What are your before and after experiences? start here

 

YES this stuff is beautiful, and if you have a low mileage car i recomend it with every oild change. However on the other end, if you have a HIGH mileage motor like 100k+ then I advise caution. Try flushing your coolant first just to make sure your headgasket isnt leaking through at all. Seafoam does its job like nothing else and if there is any leak in your head gasket at all it will open it right up. I know this from experience. I used seafoam on one of my cars and it did everything good everyone has talked about. It increased throttle response and even the butt dyno felt better . But soon after my car would spit smoke once in a while when I started it. I recently had a clutch change and to do this I had to take out the radiator. When putting it back it i figured, why not flush the cooant. Now whatever hole that the carbon was plugging on one side in the cylinder and the gummy old coolant was pluging on the other is WIDE THE **** OPEN. I cant drive my car right now because I have to replace the headgasket. I am in no way telling you not to use it, it is a wonderful product, and again I recommend it for regular use on low mileage motors, but I caution use on higer mileage cars and would say think about it first, and check up on your car before sending that liquid into engine.

seafoam
me not checking out my car before using it

 

Before:
Before i used the sea foam my car had a little bit of a rough idle in the cold. Overall, i just thought trying this product may be able to clean out the crank case and valve seals and last but not least burn up some of the carbon build up.

After:
Sunday May 16th. My car is running good and i'm very happy with the results. It is not like a night and day difference but it did make my car run smoother over all. I did notice better throttle response too. For one you'll have less carbon build up if you run premium gas and do hit high rpm's every once in a while. I think using seafoam would be worst if you run the cheap gas and never hit high rpm's. I thought about this before doing sea foam on my car. I changed the coolant a month ago and my head gasket was changed at 100k. I change oil every 2500 miles. I use fuel injector cleaner as needed and i take pretty dang good care of my car. I'm a dealership *****....i broke one exhaust manifold stud a month ago and put on all new studs and all new castle nuts (75 bucks in bolts). I never go cheap on my car.

IntEGNYC, soul purpose of this thread is the picture of the back of the can since so many people ask what the directions are.

neogenesis2004 is right that high mileage car owners should take cation when using seafoam and it's defiantly more safe to use on lower mileage cars.

sorry for any confusion i have caused...

 

we todd sucks! i cant see pics

 

But do you see dead people?


if you dont see them, 9 times out of 10, neither is anyone else
