How to: Clean your engine with seafoam!

[Scott]

Couple of pointers.

1. Change your oil within a day or two of Seafoaming the car. Better safe than sorry.

2. Pull your O2 sensors and cap their openings before doing this. Leaving them in will greatly reduce their effective lifespan.

k thanks will get some tomorrow. Hopefully will give me some mileage back.

Should I really take the O2 sensors out and plug the holes? if so anyone know what size and thread pitch plugs to get?

If your worried about the sensors you can remove them and probably just use some non-foulers(if you can plug the little hole with something) to cap them off. I personally would go through all the troubles but still everyone should know that there still is a minor risk of messing one up. I didn't have any problems tho. If you have any questions on how to do this man just ask, ill be glad to help.

Another nice write up jeg, thanks again.
I did this recently, used the brake booster line that is pictured from jeg, also used a McDs straw to feed it, worked great except it sucked it up really quick I used half the bottle in the line and dumped the rest in gas tank. Had no problems with fouling plugs or anything. Runs great.

I just seafoamed my 2002 P5 (115,000 miles) and it worked great! The idle is MUCH better and I even notice a little more pep when I accelerate! Great write-up!

in the brake booster? i do mine like every 7k or so. is that bad? usually like every other oil change

 

[red95_240sx]

If i dump this in the gas, will the car smoke as long as i have that same tank of gas?

Also i think i read ont he back of mines "safe for 0xygen sensors" maybe i have the new stuff.

 

[red95_240sx]

I just did it through the brake booster(bastard really sucks) There were times when the line got stuck to the can. Im surprised i didnt get a CEL.

Still w8ing on answers for the gas tank. I dont have much gas so ill probly do it soon anyhow.
