seafoam for the first time! Seems to crank up cleaner but we'll see if that's true in the days week or two. It bogs down 1 out of 5 times. It's revving a lot smoother though
Today I made mirror and door handle covers out of diamond plate and got them installed. Think it came out pretty good considering I cut them with a jig saw and used concrete to smooth out the cuts and radius the corners. And I just seafoamed
The crap out of it and found out I have a bad motor mount.

I seafoam mine one a year to pass emissions and it does run a lot smoother. Mine lasts all year.

Then I remove the brake booster and hold part of the hole with your thumb so it doesn't idle really high. It is a pressure line... spray a little at a time so it doesn't kill it. spray a little in the gas tank. i spray 1/3 in each of the 3 spots. at the very end I spray the last bit in the brake booster so it stalls the motor out. let it sit 15-20 mins and start it back up. It will be rough starting for the first min or so then it will start and smoke a parking lot out. After it stops smoking tunr it off and do an oil change because the oil will have a lot of the build up in oil when you drain it out.
Even the first time I ever seafoamed it I stalled it like 7 times and it never hurt anything .
hopes this helps. I'm seafoaming mine to tomorrow morning to pass emissions lol.
