    1/3 in threw the brake booster line
    1/3 in gas when empty then go fill up
    1/3 in oil when doing oil change put seafoam in the motor with the old oil and turn on the car run it for a lil then do an oil change but if your not doing an oil change dont put the seafoam in the oil it will mess up ur motor if you leave it in there

    any vac line into the manifold will do if for some reason you cant or dont want to go thru the booster line

    Re: seafoam question real quick

    If your engine has a tremendous amount of the above seafoam will help. If your engine is pretty free of carbon deposits ('free' being a term I'm using loosely).. then it won't make much difference.

    How did it ruin the carbs? Melted gaskets?

    Re: seafoam question real quick

    My carb'd accord I just take and drop like half into the gas and then do half into the barrels of the carb slowly so it doesn't stall. Same thing as running it through the booster line isn't it?


    Also I was told my a friend with an old like 86 RX-7, he used to just take a bottle of water and pour it into the carb, for a nice steam clean with no chemicals.
