Seafoaming

I'm going to sea foam the car. Should I use the bpv hose to drip the sea foam into?

I haven't seafoamed my lgt, but in all my other applications, I used the vacuum line coming off the brake booster. I would also use another person to apply throttle to keep the car from stalling by pressing lightly on the accelerator until I had the right amount of liquid in.

i wouldnt add that stuff int he crankcase btw.
also you need to change out spark plugs when your done.
i dont belive into those products tho .

Seafoam works great. In fact the Subaru Upper Engine Cleaner is the same stuff. Follow the directions on the can and change your oil afterward. There are various threads on other forums on this subject. Have fun with the smoke show

I suggest using the BPV hose. Have someone help you out by stepping on the gas to rev the car up as you do it, otherwise you are stuck trying to maneuver the throttle, not flood the engine, or spill the stuff all at the same time.

I used to do this to my DSM's all the time. Just make sure that you change the plugs and the oil afterwards if you run it through the intake. I would also want to make sure that you are running it through the throttle body and not straight into the intake mani, to ensure even disbursment.

Throttle body or bpv. Why is there so many conflicting methods? And also what if I already changed the plugs prior to seafoaming, then should I not even seafoam?

**compsurge** · #**10:** 09-30-2010, 07:26 PM

I think you should be fine. I have never changed plugs after seafoaming, only oil.

where's the BPV location??

On the right side of the intercooler the black circular knob-like thing.

Only slightly different

Instead of using the vacuum line (because I'm semi-tarded) can I just add it to the gas tank during a fill up?

On their website it says something like 1 oz per gallon dispensed.

I think the intent of the gas tank fill is to help clean out the fuel system and injectors. The BPV/vacuum line would be for cleaning the head/cylinders.

If someone has a picture of the engine bay and what to disconnect in order to add SeaFeam that would be great.
