Default Seafoamed!

And all is good. Idle smoothed out, engine is quieter now, and I put some in the crankcase and gas too. Only one thing... I couldn't stall the truck out when pouring the seafoam in, so I just had to turn it off. Is that normal? I tried hard, and ended up using about half the can in the vacuum line, but that ole 300 wouldn't quit runnin'!

This smoked a fair bit while running, but for the life of me I couldn't make it stall. If I didn't feel the idle smooth out I'd be dissapointed!

It doesn't have to stall it to work. It would only stall the engine if it was HEAVILY plugged up with carbon deposits. The fact that it smoked was your proof that it was dirty and was being cleaned out a bit which is also why you noticed a difference. If it didn't stall and didn't smoke, then you won't notice a difference cuz' your engine is relatively clean already.


Make sense?
