Exclamation How To: Seafoam (VIDEO)

Here is the How-To video I made to see if I can clear up any and all questions on the proper way to seafoam the LNF engine.

Did this as quickly as I could so please excuse the crude editing. My original audio was pretty messed up most of the time so about half of it is voice over.

Thanks. There was a lot of unnecessary confusion on how to do this on these motors. I really hope it clears it up for everyone.

Never. Just be sure to do it properly. I've seafoamed a bunch of cars countless times. Just change your oil and spark plugs right after and you should be golden.

Thanks.

I really hope this is the last time anyone has to post anything about seafoaming the LNF. It's extremely simple and pretty straight forward.

I hope this video makes it easier for someone wanting to try and do this on their own.

I don't think so, but what can it hurt? Its good to use fresh plugs. I wouldn't change plugs every oil change but thats me.

What does seafoaming do? Im guessing that it breaks up the carbon build up. what does this do to the performance? better gas milage or what? Thanks

It will increase your gas mileage to where it should be as far as I can understand. When the carbon builds up it decreases your MPG's and seafoam cleans it up so it returns to normal (or as close). Theres no real negative effect to seafoaming if you do it right.

Ive become a fanboy of the spray seafoam. The long thin straw comes in handy.
