Has anyone on here used Sea Foam in your engines. I have read that putting Sea Foam down the carburetor and then letting it sit on the pistons for hours, will help to burn off and get rid of excess carbon build up on the pistons, and possibly on the valves. Has anyone used this? And did it seem to help. Especially on engines with more miles. Thanks for the info.Smile

That one is awesome for disolving problems with fuel - I've watched it work on old gas. It's too strong in general to use with any regularity or at full strength as suggested unless you are correcting a serious problem.

Another product called "Deep Creep" is foamy and works well with carbon cleaning. Careful doing that as too much can cause a hydraulic lock and real bad news!

If you know you have a carbon problem these things can help or solve it. So can plain water and ATF in older stuff but AYOR and know that cat coverters can be harmed also,
