Indrid cold Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Stopped in Auto parts store last week... new product for store on display.. Seafoam.. hmmmm.. I thought.. see if it's true.... Put down Carb. in 1990 olds with 257,000 miles... ran so good after wards I decided to keep her a bit longer as I was thinking this was it for the old girl, so new rotors, radiator, hoses and going for the 300,000 mark, I do 110 miles a day with her and never ran better. Sunday, driving my 88 wagon, out of the blue a stuck lifter 2 weeks after oil change, ... tick, tick, tick,... that is new I thought.... 3 days later... still ticking... hmmmm... put in crank case... 1/2 hour later... no more tick... I will see if it is a permanent fix over the next few weeks... but I think it be gone and running better just from earlier tonight. so yea... I'm sold.

Milemaker13 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 2.7- Alot of people have compared it to various chems. Search the internet and posts here to find an alternative. Marvil mystery oil is another brand name of similar stuff. I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daeron Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Sea Foam Link It is basically just a consumer brand of a common shop solvent used for cleaning clyinder top ends/etc. The most effective way to use it is to snort it up through a vacuum line, because this pulls it into the crankcase as if it were air, at the topmost point. This gives the effect of cleaning carbon deposits off of EVERYTHING. I've often wondered what a repeat application shortly following one would be like.... but never tried it. I also like to think of it as "exhaust leak detector." Just crawl underneath when you start her back up, and look! you can see everywhere its leaking from!!!

mikeshorts Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 By the way, which vacuum hose did you suck the seafoam up into? I was going to do the same today on my 91' loyale. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joostvdw Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 By the way, which vacuum hose did you suck the seafoam up into? I was going to do the same today on my 91' loyale. Mike usually the brake booster hose is used, because it is large and easily accesed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
