Ran some SeaFoam

Mighty HD · August 31, 2005

Not sure if it even made a difference on a truck with only 10,300 miles.

It took about 30 minutes to do for each car. I ran 1/4 can real easy through a vac. line, then revved to about 1500 and sucked the rest of the can down, and towards the end I let it stall out. -- Sit for 20 minutes while I did the car.

It smoked pretty good for about 2 miles then stopped. It was pretty funny clearing out a major highway..lol

The car howerver...dang. 98 Grand Am 3.1 88,550 and it had never been done. That sucker smoked like the house was on fire and it was like that for about 30 minutes of driving. I may do a second application for the car.

Next is the work truck--I'm going to suck 3 cans down that bad boy----it idles 13+hrs a day so I'm sure its real nice and crusty.

Where did you suck it in on the Grand Am? I was going to do my lumina but no easy hose to suck it in. its a 97 with the 3.1

SeaFoam is an engine "Top End Cleaner". I believe you can get it at places like AutoZone.

I sucked it through the brake booster vac. line.

I got a small adaptor to fit in the hose so it wouldnt suck it too fast and hydrolock the engine. It worked perfect, i regulated it some then after 3/4 of the can I took the other 1/4 and went real strong until it stalled.

Smoked like a bear...

You can buy the same stuff at your local GM dealer. I believe they call it "Top End Cleaner".

It smooths out your idle and cleans out the deposits on the top of your pistons etc... In most cases it helps clear up any "piston slap" or engine knock too...

I'd recommend doing the procedure just before you change the engine oil.
