seafoam

[knucklescw]

i put a half pint of seafoam in my intake and it stops the lifter tick for about two weeks. could i use it every two weeks or should i just use it every once in a while.

I would just buy some new 3rd gen lifters.. I think they are doin a group buy on 3si.. somthing crazy like 130 for all the lifters!! anyways.. thats the best deal i have ever herd of

[Dreamspawn]

i wouldnt' seafoam that often i think it says once a year recommended.... but yeah the group buy is rad also try differnt oils....

yea i did the 99 lifters a couple weeks ago, not as bad as i thought.....once you do the first couple you get the hang of it

[youngvr4]

i definately need to seafoam the vr4

[new2mitsu]

were can u get the stuff, do they have it at az or ne where?

[dhrubio]

i got it at advance auto parts...most places should have it

[new2mitsu]

is the stuff safe?

[dhrubio]

if you do it right....i read through all the threads i could find about it and in sum, the best way to do it i believe is: 1/3 can in gas tank and 1/3 can thru brake booster line(put the 1/3 in a bowl or something, then use a hose n just barely touch the surface of the seafoam with the hose and it will start sucking...have someone there to rev the car only a tad to keep the car on until the seafoam is gone)..then let the car sit for several minutes (some say 5 some say 30)....then turn it on and rev until theres no smoke left...then put the other 1/3 in your oil but do not rev!!!..again let sit for a while, then drain oil, then run car with cheap oil for a few minutes to rinse out the chemicals, then put fresh oil.....feel free to chime in anyone else..

No need to run the car with cheap oil to get the chemicals out. If there is any seafoam at all left after draining it will be extremely negligable.
