Seafoam--can't believe what it did to my engine!!

work on. The injectors need cleaned out so I'm going to put a can of seafoam of the tank I have a sticking lifter so I'm going to put a can inside the the uhm crankcase see if that helps some and awesome of us try to clean out some of the carbon deposits on the cylinder so today's going to be an experiment we're going to try out sort of a triple c fellow treatment additionally after we do the seafoam i'm going to drain the world i'm going to try some lucas heavy-duty oil stabilizer to see if that will help quiet down the lifters. Ok so this seafoam says clean fuel injectors and carb debts due to deposit build-up control moisture in fuel so this stuff's supposed to work on the injectors so i'm going to put a can of this inside the tank supposed to take one ounce per gallon and i have approximately 16 gallon this is a 16 ounce can I'm going to go ahead and start the engine so you can hear the amount of noise these lifters are making but the lifters do make a lot of noise and I think it's probably due to a lot of we're honest this engine has has about a hundred and sixty seven thousand miles you you so I changed this oil not long ago and according to the seafoam instructions I can add one ounce per quart of oil either before and after an oil change so I want to just see how dirty this world looks right now and then i'm going to put the sea foam in it and drive a few hours and see if there's any difference in in coloration this doesn't look too bad it's sort of hard to tell but this doesn't look like it's a really black oil the cord be instructions I'm supposed to add one ounce per quart of oil so I'm going to go ahead and add five ounces to my measuring cup okay right at five ounces I'm go ahead and add my five ounces of seafoam into the crankcase the next step is to put the sea foam spray into the top of the engine and as it's running and according to instructions I'm supposed to run the engine it's already warmed up and I'm supposed to run it a little bit above the idol so somewhere around 1,500 rpms I'm supposed to spray the entire can until the can runs out and once the can runs out I'm supposed to shut it off and basically hot soak it for a while first thing I need to do is remove the intake hose hey the can is empty I noticed towards the end of spring the seafoam into the engine I was starting to get a lot of smoke out the exhaust so this is an oil-based product or petroleum based products a lot of us just oil burning off hopefully some of that was the carbon deposits on this on the Pistons that's burn it off but soon we will find out one thing I want to point out is the throttle plate was extremely full of carbon deposits and the seafoam did a really good job of cleaning up the carbon deposits now the metal is not real shiny so there's some traces of carbon left on the throttle plate but it really broke up a lot of carbon deposits during the time I was spraying it against the throttle plate it's been right at about ten minutes so I'm gonna go ahead and start the truck it's been about 24 hours since I treated the engine with seafoam and sort of recap what we've done we've added seafoam to the tank we may add a seafoam to the crankcase and also we've done the treatment for the intake for the day what I want to do is I want to pull the dipstick look at the oil and see what it looks like see how dark it is additionally I want to drain the oil and get a closer look at it so to me the oil looks a lot darker than did yesterday ok I'm going to give us send you to start again I haven't decision has not been started in quite some time to the engine is the engine is very cold and it's probably about 45 degrees in the shots go to make any noise it's going to rattle you're going to hear a lot quieter as far as the lifter I don't hear the lifter at all there's a little bit of a slight tick I hear inside the engine but very very slight this thing's way better and I could tell after doing the treatment yesterday that I had a lot more low end power before it would stall out very easily as the standard shift and just trying to take off it just had very low end power so I'd have to really get the RPMs up this is the oil i just finished draining out of the crankcase I realized this is not a scientific way to look at this oil a scientific approach would be to send this off to an oil lab and have it analyzed for the chemical properties but what I will say is just look at the world it's very dark this is well it only has three hours on it so my belief is that a lot of the sludge inside the engine has been freed up and has been drained out of the oil pan and also what I'll say as I added about 5 ounces of the seafoam and one thing it did not do it did not destroy the thickness of the oil the oil still seems to flow so now I'm going to put in four quarts of oil and then of course one quart of the Lucas. Stuff is pretty thick! Wow look at that stuff, seems to really stick supposed to slow oil leaks it's supposed to um, it has all kinds of things it's supposed to do; reduces friction for less wear, higher fuel mileage and more power, and ensures against oil breakdown in case of overheating, extends life at least fifty percent slows blow by for less pollution and oil contamination, raises oil pressure or will not sludge or varnish. Alright, just finished adding the new oil and the Lucas, let's see how this engine runs continue it is running a lot better i am really impressed with this Lucas oil treatment as well as Seafoam. If you've got an engine that you've just about given up on, I'd recommend you to throw a few dollars at those products and just to see if it helps. I honestly did not think it would work either one of these products and, as a disclaimer just so you know, I bought these products on my own. I am not receiving any commercial sponsorship from any any sort of company including I'm not receiving any sort of sponsorship from either Lucas or from the Seafoam manufacturers. So I just wanted to try this out on this old Ford Ranger and I am extremely impressed the engine is running much better so hey, thank you for joining today and I hope you will come back for more videos. Thank you
