It looks like you were offering the can of SeaFoam up to the Rotary Gods and thanking the car for consuming the can. Good video.

So you poured it down the poor things throat. A real treatment would be to use it in a deflood procedure format and let the stuff soak in overnight. Then shoot another load down the girls throat the next day and push some through the tanks as well. Combining a soak (great mouthful), choke her with it while keeping the rpms up (so she can't spit it out) and then slipping some in her tank covers all the bases and gives multiple shots on goal that she can't refuse.

I usually like to cut a 3/8th inch hole in the bottom of the can, then get the air compressor up to about 130PSI, shove the nozzle in the bottom of the can and SUPERCHARGE that seafoam.

We sea foamed a car at a friends house, and the fire dept. showed up scratching their heads.
I think we even used a little trans fluid. smoked out the whole block.

I warned my neighbors before I did it, completely fogged out the street for about 5 minutes, broke it free and regained compression though, was worth its weight in gold. i recently broke a 350 SBC ring free with this also, love Seafoam.

Good video, Ray. The car drives WORLDS better- the trip home was pretty fun. I'm starting to think this could be some competition to the FC with a little more work and TLC I thank you, again. Maroon interior pieces mixed in with grey ones pictures up soon!

FB's beat turbos every time when it come to the bank account.

Yes the Sea Foam can was a little rusty, it was a partial can that had been sitting around my shed for awhile. Brett has a fresh full can so no doubt he'll be having some more Sea Foam fun in the future.

Anybody else got any funny Sea Foam stories or videos?

Here's one

And another on why the average intelligence of an FC owner is much lower than the average intelligence of an FB owner

You ain't doing it right. You gotta pour it down the primaries. If you don't have primaries, ditch the injector **** and get a carb. Then you can do Sea Foam right.

The primaries is direct, if you pour it down the 2ndaries then it'll only go in when they're open, people say pour a few in the tank when it's low and beat the snot out of it... thus I pour a **** load in the 2ndaris and primaries let it sit (doesnt seem to leave the 2ndaries till they open)

I also put 2 cans in a very low tank during the above, I think that and the way done in the youtube video is the best.

You need a really empty tank and two cans for any smoke, to do it like in the video do this

Put a hose from a vac line thats going to your intake mani (On fc's the brake booster is fine) or figure a better one and run it while you drive I think a engine under load WOT then sucking in seafoam would be good...

The water trick does good too I don't go to the full extreme of running the gal or two they say, I just dump a glass or so down once n awhile.
