I am going to Seafoam my Civic VX tomorrow. Hope all goes well. I'll make some pics

What is the lowest total miles that you would use this kind of stuff at? 40,000? 100,000? 150,000?

I've performed 2 treatments on the 'Teg and one on the old TL. Clouds of white smoke is normal -- supposed to get rid of the carbon buildup.

From what I understand, if you put it in the crankcase, you're supposed to change the oil after running it a few miles.

I use it for cleaning the injector pumps on my diesels. Tractor & cars.

Hate to necropost, and seafoam has been beaten to death, so i won't start a new thread... BUT!

I purchased my VX yesterday, and it's the first Honda I've had. I'll be trying a seafoam treatment, and was wondering which line is "best" to run it through (i.e., a relatively even distribution across all cylinders.) Through the brake booster line? Passenger side air vent? CD player slot?

booster line is best!

alot of people dont recommend the brake booster cuz of its large size. if you're not careful you can hydro lock. choose a small vaccum line in front of the throttle body, but before any cylinder. then it'll go through the whole thing safely.

Does anyone know how that works?

On their website it says: "Make sure exhaust is well ventilated when using Sea Foam in these various ways as fumes will be extreme for a short time." That leaves me a bit worried that this will blow gunk down the pipe that will clog up the catalytic converter, which is a pretty expensive part, from what I hear.
