Default Found a video released by Seafoam themselves.

Forgot how to word it.. Corporate released? ... And yeah, the video seems a bit old, but still good stuff. Works for a brief tutorial.

This is exactly how they taught us how to do this in auto tech school. Good stuff..

LMAO @ 1:28 and 3:16 I have used this stuff on small engines.. Seafoaming lawnmowers =

This **** still amazes me. When I first saw my friend do it 5 or so years ago, I told him he was about to blow his car up. Then it smoked like it was in a forest fire and I laughed at him.....then it ran fine and I looked like an idiot.

This stuff is just flat out awesome.

Hell yeah! I never heard of the stuff until I did a 1yr auto tech school vocational school back in 99 and they taught us all about it. I swear by it now and always keep at least a can in the house. I did my truck at my friend's place and he was laughin hard when we fogged out Rt6 here in town. The he felt what it did to the truck and wanted me to do his late mother's car. We did and that 3.3L Olds runs like it was new now..

I've tried this on the Camaro once when it was stock and it didn't do anything.. No smoke, nothing.. Apparently if it doesn't smoke, it didn't need it.

I prefer mopar combustion chamber cleaner over seafoam for the top end due to the fact that it is a foam that expands and sticks and doesn't pool in the intake and #7 and 8 cylinder.. seafoam is still good stuff tho

Some people say there's a chance of fouling plugs...

Oh no, I don't kid about sea-foam. That **** is crap. Except maybe in a gas tank, but I will never put it in my engine again.

It has caused severe misses and irratic idling on numerous vehicles. I mean it obviously takes out plugs, it wil cause misfires a month or two down the road and you HAVE to change plugs. Well thats no big deal really but the irratic idling on start-up is ******* annoying, and with no codes its hard to diagnose exactly why its happening. It always happens not long after a seafoam treatment

Iv always used seafoam with no problems.

But I can say when I used the MCCC it gave me miss fires and took out at least 1 o2 sensor.
