Default does everyone like seafoam?

want do it, but i recall hearing it could do more harm than good.

But I just read this write up https://ls1tech.com/forums/genera...-your-car.html and now I'm feelin pretty good about it.

my motors got almost 170 thousand miles on it...

With a vehicle with that many miles on it, I don't know? I just recently did it with my truck when it turned 60k and can't really say it helped any, maybe slightly better idle. And it really didn't smoke that much when it did it. I think alot of this products get bad wrap because people rev the crap out of their already P.O.S motors and wonder why they though something(bearing, rod, etc).

I have used it and I have 77xxx miles on my truck it clean it out some, did not smoke like you see in the youtube videos, smoked a little I think that it helped some. For 10 bucks or so its worth the try.

Keep us posted on the out come.

i wanna know how that could cause a backfire...not saying its not possible, but i find it hard to believe, plus... tis was a dodge

i used it on a Mitsubishi that refused to idle ,ran 2 cans of that **** threw it and it idled great afterwards.

I used it on my truck when it had around 150k...made a decent difference IMO...it smoked quite a bit and it seemed to smooth out the idle...for the price of it, I would say do it...
