Re: [Chevelle-list] SeaFoam

I am an engineer and always question additives and things to add internally.  I always question the secondary affects.  I have been reading all the stories about seafoam and consider the other chemical reactions.  I have no knowledge of this product.  I always looked at a foot to the floor freeway run to clean out the deposits left from in town driving!   Ron M. 67 Malibu ----- Original Message ----- From: Bill Bradley To: The Chevelle Mailing List Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 9:31 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] SeaFoam i sold auto parts for years and have been a mechanic ever since, to my knowlege there is no "Mechanic in a Can" just my 2 cents Bill Bradley 67 Malibu Edmond Oklahoma http://www.cardomain.com/ride/1649723 ----- Original Message ----- From: Ron Sparks To: 'The Chevelle Mailing List' Sent: Monday, September 19, 2005 10:10 PM Subject: RE: [Chevelle-list] SeaFoam At the risk of getting flamed, it sounds like snake oil to me.

Rich A second vote for Sea Foam.  The stuff works great at cleaning excess carbon buildup.  I use it from the lawn mower to the daily drivers.  Comes in a white and red can at the local auto parts stores and costs about $5 IIRC.  Unplug your power brake booster hose at the booster and put it in the can of Sea Foam while the engine is running.  The vacuum will suck up the Sea Foam into the intake.  Let it take down around 1/3 can or so slowly and then bury the hose into the can and the engine will sputter and die.  At this point, reconnect the power brake booster hose to the booster.  Let it sit for around 1/2 hour then start her up.  If you have carbon buildup you will be engulfed in a cloud of white smoke until it burns off.  I always have a can in the garage right next to the can of PB Blaster.   ----------------------------- Kurt Ehrhardt ACES 1280, TC Gold 263 66 SuperSport, 66 Malibu Enfield, CT
