I have a 2000 Ls with 85000.00 miles, thought of doing the seafoam, is tehre any side effect??? seals,valves????

 

I wonder if seafoam just coats the parts or does it really clean the carbon off? Any long term updates to see if seaform is just a temporary fix or a long term solution?

 

Borescope the cylinder before and after. If you have a flexible articulating one, you can see how the combustion chamber and valve looks too.

 

If you're not comfortable doing it then don't do it......



my car is still running fine

 

My 96 LS has about 127k miles and after reading this thread i thought it would be good to do this to my car. I have some questions first though, are there any risks involved when doing this to your car, and where do you get this stuff? can you just get some at Autozone?

 

yes autozone should carry it.


I believe all risks are covered in this thread.

 

just use it already, my car idle and run a little bit better after i seafoam it

 

an alternative to the sip method is to buy the seafoam product called deepcreep. It is the same product but in a pressurized can with a little straw to focus the spray... just spray it into the hose while the engine goes.

i did this for my acura and the results were noticeable. I put one can in the vac tube and one in the gas tank with a third tank to go.....

smoke central!!!!!!!!!!!

 

you do not need to rev the **** out of it

just let it idle after sitting for 5-10 mins and it will eventually stop smoking

 

Why? ......

 

anything you do to your car there is always going to be some kind of risk..with 127k miles i would say its about time to seafoam. Autozone should carry it.
