I wouldn't say not at all - it's possible to hydro lock your engine if you do it wrong. But then again when I foamed mine, I ended up just shoving the vacuum hose in and let it suck the stuff out of the can with no problems.

Bottom line, just don't be stupid and you'll be okay. Don't let it stall out, but you should only need a little gas to keep it running even if you submerge it in the seafoam.

Have some one rev your car to 1500 rpms or so and let it suck it up slow a little at a time 1/3 of a can it should take at least 10 min to be safe . Since your gonna change your oil dump 1/3 can in the oil and the rest in the tank drive a day change oil

You can do it through the vac line anytime but i would dump some in the oil before then change it.

no no no, pour it into your oil before you change it. then drive it around for a bit ( maybe 10 min) then change your oil after it cools down.

i usually pour half in my gas tank and half into the vac line.

if i was you though i would put 1/3 into the gas tank, 1/3 into my oil, and 1/3 into the vac line.

What oil do you run, and how often are your changes?

hatrickstu has a how-to on here about seafoaming a ss/sc. He also put a link to his youtube vid on there too. Doesn't appear to damage anything, although I imagine if you fill up your tank with premium gas and use full synthetic oil, not much will come out (if anything).

I think you'd be surprised how much carbon can build up. I'll look up the how to, I thought I had seen one from him a while back.

I wouldn't be. I used to work for a couple of garages. Most gas stations' premium gas have to meet certain ratings, and they have to have a minimal amount of detergent to keep your engine clean. Most places exceed that standard, but every now and again you'll have a station that just does the bare minimum. I know Chevron, Shell, and Texaco exceed this standard. But in the end, the only for sure way is to just pop the head off and take a look at your valves from there.
