[QUOTE="thomas91169, post: 8334407, member: 40530"] srsly? it removes the caked on carbon deposits from the intake. valves, combustion chamber, etc. it also provides an awesome smoke show for the neighbors in the process. i take a vacuum hose and open the can, rev the motor at around 3-4k and "sip" at the seafoam with the hose. You dont want to just submerge it fully or else the motor will bog and potentially hydrolock (however unlikely). sipping at it with the motor revved gives the seafoam better atomization in the intake which means itll work better. once you suck down half a bottle, let the car sit for 5min. then start it up, and drive it like you stole it. drive the piss out of it till theres no more smoke coming out the tailpipe. you can also repeat, and put the rest of the contents through again to make sure you have it all. or others put 1/4 into the gas tank, and another 1/4 into their oil, though i believe directly into the motor yeilds the best results. after seafoaming, change plugs and oil. plugs may get fouled up from the carbon deposits flying around the combustion chamber and sticking onto the tip of the electrode. realistically, its reducing your built-up compression, however due to carbon deposits, you may have developed hot-spots which can cause pre-ignition/detonation which will hinder vehicle performance (especially those with knock sensors to detect and reduce timing). youll notice better fuel economy and increased throttle response afterwards, but this may also be a by-product of the post-seafoam tuneup. ive taken apart a motor with 150k on the clock that had been foamed a month earlier, it was spotless. i took apart a motor with around 5k on it, and it was a mess with carbon deposits. i have a bottle of seafoam sitting on my counter that will be sucked through my dsm shortly.
