Another damn sea foam question...
I have done a search and see that everyone says to use the seafoam through the brake booster line. However, I can't seem to find which side to take off... and yes I am a retard. Take the B/B line off the tree on the firewall and stick that end in the can or take it off the brake fluid reservoir side and put that in the can? OR am I not reading the posts right and not even at the correct vacuum line?

I did this yesterday. Just take the fat line off the tapered end that actually attaches to the brake booster. make sure your doors are shut and your windows are up...the smoke looks kinda like you are doing a burnout and it stinks pretty bad.

All i did on mine was took the tube that goes from the valve cover oil fill, and ran it through while it wasconnected to the Throttle Body.. Worked fine for me..

Just ran half a bottle through the brake booster line.... nothing. Not even a puff of smoke. Getting ready to take it for a spin to see if its running any better.
Scratch the above crap... Went back out and started the car and it looked like someone had thrown a smoke grenade behind my car.... smoked all the way down the street. Not sure if its running any better but got a cool smoke show.

yep and if u do this procedure enough times eventually u will not get any more smoke and then u know everything is super clean,. i used 3 cans and mine didnt smoke halfway thru the 3rd can.theres a noticable differance if your car was really bad, but it wasnt too bad you probably wont notice

you're supposed to suck it up and then shut the engine off and let it sit at least 15 min. that loosens all the crap in there

RE: Another damn sea foam question...
is the stuff safe to use? will it wear out any seals or burn to hot and mess a valve up?
i am still skeptical. i know a few people that used it, but it was on bucket *** 15000+ mile foxes
