What's the best way to administer SeaFoam? Just like the topic says. I just bought a can, and can't remember which way was the best to put it in. It seems like it was through the PCV valve, but it also seems like there was another way. As usual, any help is greatly appreciated. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: What's the best way to administer SeaFoam? Sprayed mine in through the brake booster vacuum line...took about 2 minutes to empty the can. Worked very well. Some people say remove the lid/MAF...and spray it into the intake...but my car wouldn't run without it.
I also changed my oil after the cleansing process.

Re: What's the best way to administer SeaFoam? I bought a length of fuel line, and connected it to the PCV inlet. I did a half can slowly, then shut it down, waited 5 minutes, then started it up. After the smoke cleared, I did the entire process a second time. I plan to do another whole can, then change the oil & filter. Maybe it will quite making so much smoke after a while.

Re: What's the best way to administer SeaFoam? I just did this 2 times this past week, through the PVC as stated above. But on the S10, I got a oil can type squirt can, and filled with Sea Foam. I let the motor suck it in through the PVC and then purposly raised the idle and let it suck up enough to stall it out. Then took out each plug and squirted SF in each cylinder. Replaced the plugs. Let it sit overnight, pulled the coil wire, turned the motor over in the morning, to flush out the SF, and then put the coil back on an started it up, took it down the road, smoking like a bitch, and drove until it stopped smoking under high idle. Car runs better, S10 runs better. Good ****. Same stuff as GM top engine cleaner. Cleans out all carbon. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />

Sea Foam liquid is available in a 16 ounce can.
It is available at NAPA Auto Parts for $5.69 under part # SF-16.
Also available at Farm and Fleet for $3.99 (on sale this week for $3.49).

Sea Foam Deep Creep is an aerosol version in a 12 ounce can (same chemical only in a aerosol).
It is available at NAPA Auto Parts for $5.99 under part # DC-14.
www.seafoamsales.com
GM Top Engine Cleaner liquid is available in a 15 ounce can, #1050002.
GM Top Engine Cleaner aerosol is available in a 18 ounce can, #1052626.
These products will clean the combustion chamber, valves and piston top.
Also removes gum, varnish and other deposits.
These products really do work to remove ping at WOT.
I also like the gasoline additive Techron by Chevron to remove deposits and keep things clean.

Re: What's the best way to administer SeaFoam? I put a hose in the can, and hoooked it up to the PCV, sucked almost the entire can down in about 2 seconds before it even had a chance to bog out and shut down. Left it in overnight, cranked up the next morning, very early, didn't wan the neighbors to see the 30th smoking all ghetto style <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> , and beat the **** out of it!! <img border="0" alt="[Firebird]" title="" src="graemlins/formula.gif" /> Took it back home and changed the oil
