So back in the summer when we bought sarah's car we seafoamed it out at my buddies place...made her car run sooo much better *has almost 200xxxMiles on it*, and at that time i bought a can of it for my car. I never got around to using it untill a day ago. I had some ticking coming from my head *think it was some carbon built up on on the valve seat beacuse i was burning some oil too. Any ways, i used it yesterday, 5 min after using it, no more tick, idel is much more constant, runs smooth as silk now. My idel use to jump around the 700-800 mark..now it sits perfectly at 750.
I seriously recomend using it. We are selling some other stuff at my work that does the same thing with an oil treatment for $66, go out and spend the $8 on a can and buy some seafoam. |

The brand is Sea-Foam and its in a metal can with red writing. We did it to Havok's GT with 209K miles on it, and it ran a lot better afterward. The hose we pulled was one of the ones on the pass side of the throttle body, and it worked fine. As long as the hose you pull off has suction (just put your thumb over it and see), it should be fine. Just make sure you keep the rpms up, and DON'T DO IT IN A GARAGE. As much fun as that was playing 'ghosts in the dark', it can get a little cumbersome.

"Hmm. Ask him if he's the dragon reborn." "What?" "Just do it." ".......He said yes." "Tell him you are not darklings. He should open up." ".......Sweet. Thanks." "No problem." |
