Thread: Seafoam

As soon as the engine cools down I'm going to seafoam it, anything I need to know before I start?

Get your hand by the throttle...you'll need to give it some gas before it dies.

True that its a fun thing to do to your ride ha puff pufff

make sure your in a garage with all the doors closed

^^hahahahahahaha. No.

Do it outside of course - it's good entertainment for the whole neighborhood. Most importantly - keep the idle up.

I usually use 2 cans. I pour 1 can in the crankcase 1 day before I plan on changing my oil. Then 1/2 can in the fuel system. then the other 1/2 can sucked in through the brake booster let her sit for 30-45 min. Start her up and let the fun begin. Then change the oil.

There's a certain amount you're supposed to put into the crankcase, I don't think you're supposed to use a whole can. This was really helpful.

Yeah there is however on my vehicles with V8's (ecspecially my 81 pickup cause it has a deep oil pan) i still put a whole can in the crankcase. Not on a v6 or 4 cyl. I never had any issues however it is best to follow the direction
