Sea Foam usage:
I have seen a lot of articles on the use of Sea Foam and how to use it.
I recently used it myself and want to report that it does as advertised.
I was confused by the directions on the back of the can. It said wait 5 to 10 minutes and restart the vehicle. Members here on the Corvette Forum said to let it set overnight 12 hours before restarting and watch the smoke roll out as you take it for a run to blow it out. Also change your oil and some say plugs also.
Well, here is a copy of the e-mail reply I received from Sea Foam and it's usage..notice they mention a "fogging" effect for usage. They also say in the first sentence "matter of preference". BUT their instructions make a lot of sense also:
Everyone is right - it is a matter of preference.
I suggest - after the motor has been fogged ( semi-flooded) let it sit 5 - 10 minutes. ( The reason I would not let it sit 12 hours, is, that the motor would get cold, I think that the fogging job is better if it is a hot tank effect.
Fogging a motor should not effect the motor oil at all, different systems.
Yes, fogging a motor will get the plugs wet, BUT< they will dry themselves when you " Drive it like you stole it " when you clean out the system.
Hope this answers your questions.
