Good stuff.

i did this at 137k with good results. i know you're not supposed to use seafoam on engines older than 150k. im not at 147k. do you think it would be a good idea for me to do it one more time before i hit 150?

I wonder why you cant do it after 150K? what would it do to your car? Anyone know?

Printz · 02-13-2006, 08:29 AM

after 150k it can break up builup that fills in gaps. I did it just to see what happens and i had to replace my head gasket because it broke up the carbon that was allowing it to hold compression.

But the stuf is great, when they pulled my head off, the pistons looked awsome and clean, i'm going to do it again soon.

Hey, I plan on using Seafoam on my car, but I don't know which hoses exactly to disconnect to suck up the Seafoam. Anyone have pics? With a big red circle over which hose to disconnect.

Has anyone tried the tranny Seafoam? I'm going to do it too, but would like to know what other people's experiences with is has been like.

It is also a good idea to change you oil after doing this.

Oh yea onther Q. Will Seafoam affect octane rating? Cuz my car is tuned for 93 octane, n I dont wanna blow my engine.

I use it on all my cars and friends since 3 yrs ago. Its only worked miracles, Ive actually used it and pulled apart the engine on a 1993 Maxima with over 180 thousand miles and the pistons looked flawless so did the valves.

CpHaAtN · 08-31-2006, 11:41 PM

i've got carbon build up in my egr valve. is this gonna help it? i need to take care of it soon because i've got a smog check due. :eek

WHEN DOING THIS CARBON CLEANING SERVICE- DONT ALLOW TOO MUCH LIQUID TO PUDDLE INTO CYLINDERS, AS IT WILL/MAY DAMAGE RODS IF HYDROLOCKING IS A CONCERN. AND IF NOT, IT WILL CONTAMINATE YOUR OIL IN CRANKCASE. DO IT SLOW AND STEADY AT BOTH BANKS OF ENGINE INTAKE MANIFOLD. MECHANICAL TIP.

Yups^ cuz I alomst hydrolocked my Tahoe. I had to take the plugs out to relieve the preasure. DONT JUST DUMP IT!!!
