Sea Foam w/ VIDEO

[flair1111]

Edit: Link pulled on this site due to possible hydro lock if done the way my vid shows. i didnt realize this was not the best way to use sea foam until TJKJ2000 spoke up. And for so many years i thought i was doing it the right way.

well, sorry guys, everyone makes mistakes. now off to read up on using water injection as a cleaner instead.

Holy smoke, you weren't kidding! Good vid. I ended up getting caught up watching a few more of your other videos. Kept me pretty entertained for 15 minutes lol

That is the incorrect way which can lead to hydrolocking the engine.All that smoke is just the seafoam being burned in the cats since it was introduced to fast and in a unsafe/uncontrolled manner.




Besides being a very bad cleaner(seafoam) the correct way to inject a intake cleaner is via a vacuum hose closest to the throttle body and at a very slow rate.16oz over 30-40mins with the engine at 1200-1400rpm's.You don't want to see a "smoke show" since that means the cleaner is doing it's job and is being unburned in the combustion chamber and being burned in the cat(s).

Sounds like you have a big exhaust leak. Is it towards the front, because the smoke...eh I mean steam should be coming out the tailpipe. And yeah, you dumped the stuff in way too fast. The concept is to gradually steam clean the combustion chamber, heck, even water works for that (look up water injection).

even water works for that (look up water injection).

If done right water is about the best cleaner for the combustion chamber.
