Hydrolocked My Motor Using Seafoam!

[TonK]

Well, not really, but please read the usage directions on their page.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, I was at Advance Auto today and the manager told me that he has heard of people hydrolocking their motors by using too much of it.

I don't want ever want to see any of you guys post this same topic, so proceed with caution.

Please read this page.

Thanks for looking...

You for real man? I think it's cool he took time to make a heads up instead of just letting people screw their stuff up, and before anyone says they'd deserve it for being stupid, no one deserves that. Not even the dude who put oil in there... Seriously.

one time with seafoam i was sucking it up with the break booster line and it stalled, was fine. also another time I ran it thru the line, and went to turn it off, but the motor kept sputtering, even though the inginiton system was off...ended up putting it in gear and letting out the clutch to stop it... probably wasnt a good thing, but I didnt care as the F burns oil and has 234k on it.

yea, it is def. a good heads up.

Theres another thread in this forum about a member who royally fscked his engine because he was using seafoam (incorrectly I assume) but these stories tend to propogate unnecessary fears about it. I use it, and never had fears not to. Use it like it says on the bottle, how difficult is that?

[accordztech]

i dont use the whole bottle...maybe a 1/4 of it....i think thats more than enough

[Dirty Harry]

Only a 1/4 of the bottle? WTF kind of an idea is that?? I've used the entire thing in seconds on a number of cars without a problem. You'd have to pour that shit in REALLY fast to even come close to hydrolocking your engine. If anyone actually does succeed in hydrolocking their motor with seafoam or 44K or whatever they use, they are then a complete retard and should be restricted to only adding gas and windshield washer fluid to a car. For life.

Other than the fact that zigenballz already covered this a LONG TIME AGO!!!!

Use the SEARCH feature.

It makes sense to me. Anything that is capable of cleaning your engine probably has an insanely low octane. I am not a big fan of this product because I feel in the long run it will do more harm than good. Besides nothing beats a real engine teardown and clean up.

hahaha maybe i should make a post to remind everyone to not stick their hands on their heat shield.

And that still makes me laugh, "race car" "car buildeR" ROFL!
