re: Sea-Foam

If you put it in the gas on something dirty enough you'll still get the massive smoke out.

I love it. When I ran it through my boat motor there was a black streak in the yard about 6 feet long behind the prop.

I'd wait for meauxjeaux2 to tell you exactly what to do.

I personally would run it in the vacuum hose and fuel first and then the oil only after I got it running halfway decent.

Wait for mojo though. I'm no mechanic

Well here's my rationale for the oil first. Oil has been setting up too. So I'm concerned about startup lubrication and potentially scarring the cylinders/wiping a bearing.

Contemplating draining oil first. Changing it. Running Seafoam. Changing oil again. Then pressing with the fuel side of things.

Along with all this..I got to plan this around the weather and a nice set of graveyards in the middle of March. Then going back to La for Easter (in wife's 4Runner). I hate planning.

ok ya'll sold me on this crap. Where do I purchase and a screen shot would be helpful so I get the right stuff.

TIA

You can get it at anypart store just tell them you want seafoam comes in white and Red Can
Walmart has it too

Like somebody else said, pull the plugs and put a little shot of oil in each cylinder. The oil should still be good enough to run it for a while.

At the farm we had an old 4x4 Chevy with a 454 that had been sitting up for 5 or 6 years. Got it running and warmed up and when we drained the oil we were pretty surprised to see that it looked/smelled/felt perfectly fine. I doubt you total your engine just running it long enough to warm it up.

It sounds like you've got a pretty good plan though. Stick with it and good luck

one thing that bugged me was after seafoaming the oil on my old car, it leaked more.

Someone told me that it might clean the gunk that was keeping it from leaking so much that it leaks more.


im no mechanic though
