How does it work? I think I know what your talking about, if so do you use one of the vacuum lines to suck the stuff from the bottle to get the carbon out? I am interested, just hit 100,000 miles. -J

it also works wonders if you pour it into the oil to help free stuck lifters.the seafoam trans tune is a good product also.

Its a liquid that is like an all purpose cleaner. You can put it through a vacuum line and it will clean carbon build up on your valves and in your combustion chamber. You can also run it through the gas tank and its supposed to clean the fuel system.

After reading this thread I had to try this stuff. Ran it though the vac line and put some in the oil. Man they arnt kidding when they say you'll have "excessive emissions" after sucking it through the vac line. Thick, white smoke just floated over my whole neighborhood I Just sucked it through the brake booster line, only thing is I sucked up too much, about 2/3's of the bottle instead of 1/3, is that going to hurt anything in the engine? I'll let you know how it worked after I get a chance to drive it

::EDIT:: Another thing about the smoke. Its great for spotting exhaust leaks My passenger side header is leaking, that would explain the ticking

LOTS of thick white smoke, for several minutes. Do NOT do this in your garage, you will die. I dont have cats so that may explain why I had so much smoke, but still, it was a little embarassing. Good thing all my neighbors like me

Well I wasent able to do the drive because my front rim is dented and leaking air but I did rev it for several minutes and then let it idle for another 10-15 min. It was still smoking a bit when I shut it down, but again I wasent able to take her for a drive. Remember the smoke screen from that old arcade game Spy Hunter? It'll be a little something like that when you take it for a drive When you do suck in into the vac line be sure to have access to the throttle cable. The car will die if you dont keep the RPM's up. It dosent like to run when liquid is pumped through the vacuum system, go figure
