My Seafoam Video

[Kevin]

Anybody with a DSM has heard about us using seafoam on our cars most popularly through the intake. Creates a smoke screen effect during its use and after. This time I decided to get someone to videotape it.

Me, Bailer, 04srt and sleepinsilvia23 got at it and it was a good time.

Here's a video courtesy of my videographer sleepinsilvia23 of it in action:

And here's a video of me shaking the rest of the smoke off:

Don't bust on the center piece, it's on there for a good reason.

[Willdue]

and yous wonder why they break.

[GhostRider]

they break because you clean everything out to make the idle better ? hmm

[Kevin]

Mine doesn't break. I know how to drive and maintain a car lol

Don't listen to Will, he's sour he sold his DSM for his wiring malfunctioning VW.

It's petroleum based so your not gonna hydrolock. Unless you like pour it in your throttle body lol I just sucked it in trough a vaccum hose on my throttle body. They say not to use it that often on older cars because it might clean it out too much.

[twastheglow]

Not to sound like a total douche bag...but how does cleaning out an older car too much cause a problem? Is it just cleaning the cylinders and manifolds?

from what i've heard, they clean it too well, meaning certain problems that may have gone un-noticed due to a lot of build up are now found because that build up is gone.

Such as a drop in compression, leaks, etc.

it's notorious for dropping compression.
me and my friends have all done it to our cars. it works great.
only problem i've heard of is a buddy of mine did it to his jeep and the next day his Cat caught on fire. he thinks there was a buildup in there, and blames it on the seafoam. no proof though.

cool center piece ****.

[240_fun]

did it on my 240
lotta smoke
i poured the seafoam in a gatorade bottle and stuck my brake booster vacuum line in the bottle
dont do it too fast tho or the engine will stall and that is apparently very bad...
felt smoother afterwards

Nope, you're supposed to stall the car out actually.

[Kevin]

I could tell the exhaust leaks from under the hood got worse during the course of the treatment but I could care less. It's getting taken apart soon anyway.

You just experience a smoother idle but it's supposed to be one of those things where its just good for your motor and not really noticeable.

I've used it on my VX before. Helped to make the idle go lower than it ever had before. Must've helped clean out the IACV a bit better.

On the bottle it didn't say about making it stall though. It said to pour it in slowly while it was running, shut it off, and then start it later.

[Kevin]

lol until I find facts that it does nothing I'll believe why it's still on the shelf.

In the video it almost stalled because I didn't know when he went to put it in lol

[Loserkidwac]

I've used it in all my cars love the stuff but I have had a friend who had a horrible experience with it and still having issues since...

[NoizePollution]

Hahaha OMG that was crazy... I cant belive a nice product like seafoam makes so much **** come out of your car... The only bad I heard about seafoam was the fact that when it cleans/takes away and gunk built up in your gaskets and such, you might spring leaks if your car has an older/high milage motor. Being that the gunk sometimes holds the gaskets together? I dunno, just what I heard, sweet video though :D

[twastheglow]

Do you notice a difference after you've actually used the stuff?
