I've heard that seafoam is a really good and easy way to clean the car up a bit. When I go look at videos and ask people they tell me pour it into the Oil crank case, Brake booster, and fuel tank. It sounds stupid to pour something that doesn't belong into the brake booster and espescially the crank case. I just want to know if anyone has ever used it and does it really work or is it just stupid.

I learned the hard way in a different car that seafoam in the crankcase is risky.
you can put some in there and then run it for just a little while, but then change the oil right away dont leave the stuff in there for more than a day. When I used it in the intake I removed the main vacuum line from the brake booster, and let the vacuum suck it into the motor slowly. Until you get about 1/3 of the pint in there and then shut it off and let it set for 5 min. Then fire it back up and smoke out the neighborhood. That's the procedure recommended on the bottle. Then put the rest of it in the gas tank and filler up. -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.
