A lot of car forums I've heard about sea foaming. Good and bad reviews, can you explain more and the process?

A lot of car forums I've heard about sea foaming. Good and bad reviews, can you explain more and the process?


All i did was buy seafoam at Auto Parts shop and then fed it via one of the vaccum tubes into the intake manifold .. this lets the sea foam travel to all four cylinders .. cleans out injectors .. burns carbon deposits etc ...

When u do it make sure its in an open place.. start ur engine .. disconnect one of the vacuum tubes and let it suck the seafoam in (it is a liquid). the car will start smoking heavily in a minute or 2. the directions told me to use 2/3 of the can which i did. I left the car idling for 10 minutes after the process revving it heavily at times in the middle.

I had a 2000 civic before which i did the same on and that forum had a detailed "how to" sticky on it for sea foaming.

I have done it so have many of my buddies and none of us ever had any problems. As long as your motor is not already leaking oil or in a bad shape, I dont see any problems.

If you have never done it and if your motor has high clicks on it, i bet u anythin tht u will see the difference .. Providing everything else is working properly, your idle will become smoother, I have had friends temme that they got increased mileage too, though i have never payed attention to that ..

Thats all the info i can give u. If some1 here has some pics and a detailed sticky on it, it would be great
