I think he did it on purpose! I know I spent an hour searching the web looking for some new product called Seaform.

So I am either disappointed OR I just messed up...probably a little of both!

This morning (5:45 AM) I ran my engine to warm up...then I put the Seafoam in my PCV (I think see earlier posted pic, that my PCV, right?) turned it off, put some in my oil and gas....waited umm 10+ minutes and....nada.

Nada meaning no smoke coming out of the exhaust like I thought! It started right up and seemed to drive fine all the way to work...in a little I am getting an oil change.

Does it only smoke if you put it into your brake booster? Or should I had seen smoke when put in my PCV? Just making sure so I didn't F anything up.

Thanks.

Here's what to do. Drive to an open area and get the motor good and hot. Leave it idling. Pull off the hose going to the brake booster and the motor will rev up to about 1k rpm and you'll hear a loud sucking sound from the hose. Take the bottle and tip it towards the hose. The hose will suck the liquid so fast it vaporizes it. The engine will want to bog and die. Just let up, let it resume high idle and continue until about half or whole can is used up. Don't let it die while doing this. Then when satisfied with amount, shut truck off. Wait a half hour. Turn it on and let it run awhile giving it small revs. Then take it out and run it hard, going through the gears. The smoke may take awhile but it should come. If there isn't much smoke, after 10 minutes of doing it this way, try it again in a week. The first time I did it this way, not much smoke at all but a little as I drove it hard. Tried it again after a road trip and TONS of smoke.

Maybe it just takes two runs in order to free up 8-10 years worth of junk building up in there?
