Question about seafoam Need kind of fast

[fatcat0491]

ok My jeep is a 4.Ol Throttle body Fuel injectors

 

The seafoam bottle says Pour 1/3 or the can in Vaccum line OR Intake

 

 

Is it safe to pour down my intake? also Can any one give me step by step Help pretty fast Or even some hints or anything

[Sir Sam]

you can pour it down the intake, I found that it stalled doing it that way

 

I pulled the hose off my power brake booster and used the vacum source there to slowely suck it in untill about half a can was gone.

[fatcat0491]

The way I was always taught to do it (with Marvel Mystery Oil) was to pour roughly 1/2 to 2/3 of the can through the carburetor or throttle body slowly. The engine will start to smoke heavily and run very rough, but pour slowly enough that it keeps running. When you get to about 1/3 can (bottle) left, dump it in fast. The engine will choke and stall. Let the stuff sit and soak for about 15 minutes to half and hour, then start it up and run it to clean out the gunk.

 

Did I mention that it will smoke -- HEAVILY?

X2

That is exactly what I did, the only thing I have to add is it ruined my spark plugs.

Marvel Mystery Oil?

You're dating yourself there,kid!

[BLHTAZ]

I poured it in through the throttle body and when it stubbled a bit...I just slowed down a bit on the pour or I bumped the RPM's up a little. Either way, the stuff is great :cheers: I add a can of it to the gas tank in all three of our vehicles every now & then too.

Not really. MMO is still available. For me, that was a "recent" replacement for when Pyroil disappeared from the market. Pyroil was a far superior product ... which undoubtedly explains why it didn't survive.

Since this is brought up, and I'm a master thread jacker and all; I've always put half a can of seafoam in the gas tank and put the other half of it right into the oil. Is that a good idea or a bad idea?

[fatcat0491]

Great idea But it might make You find a unwanted leak cause it cleans out all the crap, i was just wondering cause i never put one in a commanche before

Mine smoked like a freight train pulling a steep grade :eek: but has run a lot better. Also, oil leaks were mentioned, yes SeaFoam will do that too, just haven't had time to pull the pan yet, valve cover leak fixed with gasket and an aluminum cover :brows: New plugs went along with the tuneup.

I thought if you added it to the oil you should only do it just prior to an oil change, not necessarily as an additive to leave in there for any real amount of time or miles. :dunno:

yup, few hundred miles before oil change

[project88mj]

hey guys sorry but i have never heard of any of this stuff what is it?,what does it do? any where can i get some?

[DirtyComanche]

It's some crap that cleans out carbon buildup. Most auto-parts stores sell it.

[project88mj]

does it realy do any good?or just make your truck smoke?

[DirtyComanche]

Lots of guys use it and say it was great, so I guess it works...

 

 

 

Never used it myself. Probably never will.

[JeepcoMJ]

doing this on my 87 soon

[CWLONGSHOT]

Just a note...

The amount of smoke is directly related to the amount of buildup in the engine. NOT all results the same.

Like Dirty says, enough people use and and like or see good results.
