Seafoamed my car a week ago

Post by Night Crawler »

Finally did the sea foam thing and wow. After seeing a GA do it and got a cool smoke show I was kinda dissapointed that my car didn't do the same but at the same time glad cause this just means my engine is really clean. Oh and I was holding the throttle to about 1100 RPM

Yeah, mine was a leased vehicle, so one owner, LOL. Person must've had a long commute, or driven for work, because the back seat is in mint condition, i found a gum wrapper underneath it, and there are no wrinkles signifying that it wasn't used much, if at all.

My 94 with 290K miles didn't make that much smoke. The engine was rebuilt, but still that was 100K miles ago. The car that really smoked was the Sable. We totally filled up the Auto Zone parking lot. You couldn't see anything at all! We also covered the entire street in a huge cloud of smoke. We had to cross three lanes to take a left turn, and all the cars going that way couldn't see in front of them. For a mile down, we had a similarly huge could of smoke. Beat that, you who can't beat that because you maintain your cars and don't drive Fords!

After I SeaFoamed my car, I took it down the road for a couple full throttle blasts. I've heard you're supposed to do that, as opposed to just revving it at relatively low rpms (1100). You may get more smoke, and of course, a better cleaning.
