Exclamation Where To Buy K-44 Or Seafoam!

I need to buy k-44 or sea foam , my vert engine is all locked up! (carbon) Heard that this is used to loosen up carbon by putting it in the intake and letting it do its magic for 2 or 3 days.. any info is very helpful

something i heard if you let water get suxed into the engine by the intake and just have somebody rev it up to about 6k and pass thro for a few mins it tears away at the carbon. however i dont know if i would be willing to do it. just a thought something you might look in to it.

I got seafoam today. but heard the k-44 stuff is the best. I dont understand it my vert was perfect running condition 112 both rotors very reliable car. Then i parked it for 4 months and now its fucked!

I havent had the time to see if i can even turn the motor over by turning the 19mm bolt on the front cover below water pump to see if it is locked up .

When i try to turn her over with another vehicle assisting the charge. all i get is to clicks like the battery is dead, then i can hear the starter making very slight grrrrrrrr... noise very slight noise....

Pour in your seafoam (ATF works too by the way) through the spark plug holes and leave it for 2-3 days. Then go and try to turn it over slowly, if it doesn't rotate then repeat prior step and wait another 2-3 days. If it does rotate them turn it over 1/3 of the way and put in more seafoam/ATF and wait 2-3 days. Do this for a full rotation and then try to start it again. Be prepared for a gigantic smoke show.

Then once its running and burns off all the seafoam/ATF in the engine you can do the water treatment. Use a vac line to suck in about a gallon of water while the car is running. You will NEED to be inside the car holding the accelerator to keep it running because it will want to die. This will essentially steam clean the inside of the engine. You can also use seafoam instead of the water when doing this.
