got some seafoam, have some questions

[bobbys9350]

OK, i bought seom seafoam tonight. i heard your suppose to take aff a vaccum line off the master cylinder, and let it suck it through. what vaccum line do i use? PICS??!?!! how excactly do i go about doing this, step by step instructions please!!!!! lol

locate the vacuum tree on the firewall, drivers side. It will have hoses w/ the initals P/S, A/C, B/B etc. There's a big hose on the one that says B/B.
That goes to the brake booster near the master Cylinder. Disconnect it from the booster, not the tree. Then, after ou put some seafoam in the oil and gas, se 1/2 in the vacuum. The B/B hose just about fits in the mouth of the can. Pour it into the hose slowly. If you doo too much too fast, the engine will stall out and die. Do it little by little. It will still stutter, but shouldn't die. When you've sucked it all up, re-connect the B/B hose to the booster, let it sit for 5 min., then start it up and "watch the smokeshow!!!"

It's a high potency cleaning solution.Says to use in oil,that over in time it'll help clear some internal deposits along oil paths.Now the way I see it is,don't use this in your oil or any sort of motor flush if your motor has very high miles unless you know for sure most of the internal gaskets and seals have been replaced.On motors with high mileage,the excess deposits acts like a seal in itself.Excess deposits could be helping to seal an oil leak somewhere or they could be giving you a slight compression boost.Use at your own risk.

Using in your intake,it clears up excess depoits in the runners plus it may clean up the combustion chambers.Use in your gas like any other fuel injector cleaner.

IMO,it works pretty good.Just dont go overkill on it.I can vouch that this stuff really does work.The V6 that I use as a daily driver (Def. not my 5.0!!) I never had a service shop clean them.Waste of money.Just insisted of finding ways to do it myself.Now,45,000 miles later, I used Seafoam..after using the Seafoam,I decided to pull the injectors.Was going to manually clean them out.But then found there was hardly a bit of carbon deposits on them.It was basically on the side of the injector,nothing was on or near the injector pinhole.Not bad for the money.

Edit- - - - - - - You can get Seafoam at Advanced/Discount Auto Parts...Pep Boys may have it.Also check Auto Zone.And if your from the north,Try Murrays Discount Auto Parts.

Just did my own Stang yesterday, using the BB line. It actually fits into the can opening, but without having someone else there to keep the car going when it started to "lose it", I only set it a little ways into the can. Vacuum suction did the rest, pulling it out like a spray, and at just the right spot, the engine actually ran a little higher. After about a third of the can, I shut it off (reconnecting the BB line) and walked away for about fifteen minutes. Give it a little time to munch...

Started it up with no problem, and got some good smoke, but not real heavy like some do. Drove it out on the Parkway for a bit to clear it out, and then came home (Wash/wax day) Now she runs a bit more lively, and no smoke.

DONT EVER USE MOTOR FLUSH!!!!! Not unless you plan on taking your oil pan off!! Motor flush is kerosine based, it WILL get rid of those big piles of sludge, but they will just get stuck somewhere else, causing you to lose oil pressure if they get stuck in one of your oil passages up or down from your heads. I don't recommend motor flush to anyone.

 

[bobbys9350]

cool, thanks a lot! so only use about half the can in the BB line?

 

[gt50stang89]

i put it in a cool whip container and about half a can or until the motor dies.

 

[bobbys9350]

AWSOME, THANKS! but DO NOT rev the motor while its going in?

 

[Nutzy19]

soo much smoke today from that stuff I had the Fire dept. called for visible smoke the next block over.....

 

[bobbys9350]

Lol!!!

 

[bobbys9350]

ttt

 

[Blakthorn]

so while feeding into the BB line is the car on or off?

running.. when you're done, kill the ignition and let it sit for a few, then run it for a while and let the crap burn off. I used this stuff regularly on my 100k+ stock shortblock, when I took the heads off a couple weeks ago there was hardly any carbon on the pistons and no ridges on the cylinder walls.. so I'm pretty sure it works.
