Ok, Ive searched, and read I think every post about sea foam on this site and Im still looking for answers.
oK, so sea foam is a liquid, and to use it you suck 1/3 of a bottle slowly into the brake booster line with the engine running. Here is where the the opinions differ. Do you
a. overload the booster line with sea foam tell it dies.
or
b. load it tell it idles down to near stall and shut it off.
After both your suposted to let it sit anywhere from 5 to 15 mins before attempting to restart.
I keep seeing the first come up over and over. Isnt this basicly hydrolocking your engine? I thought sea foam was combustable and there is alot more air comming in the intake than there is comming in the brake booster so wouldnt you need ALOT of sea foam to kill the engine... roughly the amount needed to hydrolock?
Im not trying to spread rumers about sea foam, it sounds like a worth while treatment but im not in the mood to replace rods and valves anytime this year.
Another concern is im running about 163,000 miles on my motor. Good Idea or bad idea to use this stuff. Any ways to limit the exposure to my gaskets and seals? (oil change after the stuff is burnt off?). Thanks.
