Quick down and dirty how to on using Sea Foam...great stuff
SEA FOAM MOTOR TREATMENT for Gas Engine Applications
As advertised for peak performance, the manufacturers say to use SEA FOAM Every 2,000 to 5,000 Mile in the 3 areas below. But seeing as how today’s oils and gases contain better detergents as compared to 20 years ago, I like to use it:
1) In the crank case at oil every oil change
2) Two times a year in the top end
3) Four times a year in the fuel system
Cleaning top End
1) With engine warm, slowly pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint through direct manifold vacuum line that will feed all cylinders, possible sources are P.C.V. valve or brake booster line. (This will pull SEA FOAM down through the super charger rotors, inter cooler, on top of the pistons and to the back of the intake valves to dissolve oil and carbon build up.) One special note if running an oil seperator....its a good idea to pull the top connection off the plenum and put a dime in there...this will prevent the vacuum path to suck seafoam from the lower intake manifold (the little that my pool during this process) valley and up into the Oil Seperator....IF you poor slowly enough no puddling will occur and all will be vaporized and sucked down the runners as the intention of this process is meant for. DOnt forget to remove your temp plug after the process is over.
a) Start the motor and let it get up to operating temp
b) Pull brake booster line or P.C.V. line and put thumb over the line (the truck will want to die if you don’t.)
c) Lift thumb slightly, tilt can next to hole and at same time slowly poor/let vacuum suck the sea foam into the line.
2) Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 minutes. If severe carbon build ups are apparent, use more Sea Foam as previously directed. Make sure exhaust is well ventilated when using Sea Foam in these various ways as fumes will be extreme for a short time.
Cleaning Crank Case
Cleans dirty engine parts internally by removing harmful gums, varnish and carbon Removes moisture from oil crankcases.
Increases R.P.M.'s vacuum and compression
Cleans PCV valve systems
One pint treats 10 quarts of oil (avg. 1 1/2 ounce per quart).
1) Pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint into oil crank case. (I usually poor it in and let the motor idle for 15-20 minutes and then immediately conduct my oil/oil filter change.)
Cleaning/Treating the Fuel System
Removes moisture from fuel and tank
Cleans fuel injectors
Cleans carbon buildup from intake valves and pistons
Cleans catalytic converter odors
Stabilizes fuel (Use for engine storage)
One pint treats 8-25 gallons of fuel (average 1 ounce per gallon).
1) Pour 1/3 to 1 full pint into fuel tank (just dump it in and go)
