seafoam??

i was on youtube and came across a video of a guy pouring seafoam into one of his vacuum hoses. is this really supposed to clean your engine? or make it better in some way shape or form? just curious if anyone had any thoughts...

Oh yeah, plenty of people have opinions on seafoam or deep creep. Just do a search for either and you'll spend the next week reading the results!

+1 lol! Seriously; I've done this a couple of times. I've only felt a difference after the first one; had more exhaust smoke. I think my engine has been pretty clean since.

I wish I had stock in seafoam!

It works- we use a main vac port at TB for max blast effect, vid probably showed brake booster line
There are tube vids taken inside the valve and combustion chamer showing the instant cleaning effect while running
www.seafoamsales.com is the maker website
see the DIY/Garage section of azine for pics and directions

The first time gets a lot of stuff out
a follow up a month later gets the missed residue clean
Then Good for a year /15k miles

bg and wynns -honda and gm make similar product for more money
Use a full can in the 1/2 tank of gas and full can in vac port
not 1/3 of a can as some directions say
