Whoooaaaahhh SEAFOAM
Just gave my engine a couple of bottles of this stuff.
Last week a bottle went in the gas tank. This week, 1/3 went into the crankcase and about 2/3rds went into the intake piping.
Yanked off one of the top vacuum lines coming out the top of the TB [not the one leading to the EGR solenoid], attached a hose to it with a coupler, found one of those pointy filler caps from an old bottle of tranny fluid, shoved it into the hose and commenced pouring SLOWLY with the engine hovering around 1.5k-2krpm.
pour too fast, the engine bogs. slowed it down and kept pouring slow enough that it would turn into a mist in the airstream and would be distributed to all cylinders. Near the end of the bottle, I dumped the whole mess in and stalled the sucker out.
Let it sit for 15 mins... came back in, fired it up... took some cranking to get going and then WHOOOOOOOSH!!!! HUUUUUUUUGE clouds of white smoke. Couldn't see my hand in front of my face, staggered out of the garage coughing and gagging... and i'd had the tail of the car OUTSIDE of the garage.
Lots of smoke, massive clouds of it but the engine didnt display any sign of being unhappy. When the smoke cleared a minute later, I took the car out for a spirited 15 minute drive.
Came back, did a compression test.
Previous results before the test were 190 191 187 192
Results after the test were 184 185 183 185
Valvetrain noise has quieted down a TON. Partial throttle vacuum on cruise has increased noticeably. Engine has more vacuum going up hills instead of boost. Throttle response has also noticeably improved. No stuttering or knock at 14psi. Basically, she feels smooth as butter.
I am impressed. Aside from that white cloud of who-knows-what, this stuff is insane.

It sounds just like intake valve cleaner. Wynns used to make it in a yellow bottle. We had hundreds of boxes of it as it was std part of a 20000k service for discoveries at the time. Others do sell it. Either goes in tank or to be fully sick (maybe for real) connect hose to vacum point on plenum/manifold and insert into bottle. Instant burnout pics w/out the tyre wear. Just do it on a sunday, in an industrial area and leave immediately after as the firies will probably arrive there is that much smoke.
