Default SeaFoam users got some questions for ya

Alright, so i've been having some issues with my motor burning oil in cyl 4. (for reference its a gsr block with b16 head.

I ran seafoam a couple weeks ago on the motor.... I recently decided the pull the head off the car with the IM still attatched to the head, after i took the manifold off, i noticed a green substance through the intake ports... I immediatly thought of coolant obviously .... but i've been thinking about how I ran that seafoam ( through the vacum line off the brake booster... and was thinking this could possibly be seafoam in these ports and the heat possibly changed the color from its blueish tone to this green ?

Just wondering if anyone has had any chance to see their ports like that after a week or less of using seafoam ... any other ideas of how it would be possible for coolant to get into my intake ports would be helpful also ... kinda puzzled, thanks guys.

i believe its coolant, seafoam would be sucked into the engine, and burned, ha.

oh and seafoam is good, but sometimes it will eat gaskets, and other stuff. I used to use it ALOT, and now i have a vacumm leak somewhere, and other problems like bogging and hesistations.


You need to make sure your car is HOT, and then suck it up throught the brake booster, and then rev the sucka.
