i just put in some seafoam in the vac line and no smoke came out after the process? is this typical or is something wrong? any info is appreciated, thanks!

This might sound stupid but, You did have the engine running at the time right? You did not just pour it in to the line.

It should have smoked.

No smoke doesn't mean anything in my experience with seafoam on many cars.

what is with you guys putting all this weird shit in your motors? i told yall, 1 tub of oxiclean every 20k and you are good to go.

adlx21

im doing seafoam because of the all positive comments about it..

thats the right line to reach both side of the bank.
I just did mine yz2day and yes it makes a big diffrence, especially with ur revs, itz a lot smoother and faster.

did u run the engine 4 abt 15 mins to get it hot or warm b4 u put the seaform thru the line ? ( i drove mine hard for 25 mins b4 i run it tru)

let it cool dwn for 10 & run it tru the line (by letting the car suck it up)

waited another 15 mins for it to soak up and then started the car up, let it stabilize or run for a min or so

then time to drive (as soon as i turn the key afta the 15 mins wait = lot of white smoke for about 15 mins) while i drive it hard rev to 5k several times.

good stuff i tell u.

just did this to my car too. warmed it up. fed seafoam thru the vac line. let it sit for 15. started her up and went on my "spirited" drive. soon as i gunned it my whole block was covered in a white cloud. i had 70k and it was my first time. also dumped a can into the gas tank. and yes the image is the same hose i used.

Might want to do some research on seafoam.

Seafoam is not some additive crap. It does really work in older high mile engines. It does clean out the block. I've seen it work on many older cars.

check out the TL side, we go cookoo for seafoam

I put the seafoam in this line... but after five mins. I got no smoke @@
is that normal??

did you let it sit for 15min then start it up? that's the same line i used and after the 15min soak i fired it up and i had white smoke for blocks

qwpobird

I start up the engine for 20 mins before I put seafoam in..

while I put the seafoam in there, engine had been off two times 0 o 0;;

I restart to apply the rest of the seafoam..

and sit for 20 mins after I put seafoam in...

when I started the engine first time. it's a little bit rough to start it..

then I wait for five mins.. no smoke at all @@"

should I do it again.? or just wait till this summer ends to do it one more time?

did you just start the car up for 20 min or drive it for 20 min?
also, at the end did you start it and let it idle for 5 min or you took it out on the "spirited" run?

qwpobird

should I drive out for a while at the beginning???
I just stay there for 20 mins to let it gets warm... it matters?

i don't think so, but everyone says to take it for a drive. the hotter the internal temp gets the better. i did mine after a few errand runs.

mine didn't smoke last time i did it. you can def. feel a difference afterwards though.

like fuzzy said "Might want to do some research on seafoam.

Sounds like you arent doing it right.

Drive the car to warm the engine.

Park the car and with the motor running let the vac line suck in a whole can of seafoam slowly.

shut car off for 15 min.

Start car and take for a spirited drive to burn it all out.

it should smoke.
