i read the huge thread on sea foam but it touched very little on carbed 22r engines.... can any of you go into more detail on this for me? 1986 22r

 

I seafoamed mine but cant provide any insight as I blew a hole in the block within 3 days.

 

that scares me!

 

I seafoamed both my 22R's (carb)

no problems here. Not sure if it helped any....

and i dont see how you could blow a hole in the block from seafoam?

Also when you are adding it you only add it at a rate where the engine is still running. Which will feel painfully slow as the engine will really want to cut out. (putter putter)

Then you shut the engine off, let 'er chill for 5 minutes.. start back up and you will get a huge cloud of smoke, grey/white whatever. then it'll burn away and you're done.

 

do i pour it straight down the carb? and if so which barrel?

 

and if you pour it down the carb how is it going to coat the valves cause it wont be able to atomize will it? so many questions such little time

 

I just followed the directions on the can.. as for which barrel... either, alternate, dont matter. its going in the engine either way :-p

 

ok thats all i needed to know! thanks!

 

like i said i dont know how much it helped. I didn't care to look through a plug hole to see a before and after of the amount of carbon buildup on the piston heads... I just did it becuase I've heard it works.. so wtf, its cheap why not give it a go =)

I also through some in with the oil.. and the gas tank. No noticeable difference in performance on the 4wd rig but it was running fine before.

the 2wd i figured it had to help clear out the carbon buildup from running rich for so many months.

 

harpen how did you blow hole in your block, what part of engine escaped??

 

so far i dont know if the sea foam is makeing a difference but it sure is hella fun smokein up my neighborhood!

 

seee your the reason for global warming just wait till al hears about you :0 oh yeah i heard someplace is in like 7 feet of that cold white crap
