best sea foam guide/video ive found

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KhPsL-6VjLc&NR=1

Now...he references Toyota Nation a lot in that video, so I assumed he posted it in already, but I didn't see it stickied anywhere. It'd probably be good to stick that guide somewhere because it doesn't pop up right away on youtube, and it's actually a very good guide.

I was thinking of doing this tonight with my car(my first time)...not the gas and oil, but just the brake booster for now. As soon as I find somewhere that I can blow off that much smoke...well if I do it, I'll let you guys know how it goes.

Thanks.

That is a pretty good video. I remember I did some research and watched that one before I did my first seafoaming.

Well guys...the good news is I did it. The bad news is..I don't have any proof.

I dunno. I'm happy I did it...as little a thing it may seem to you experts, it's really the first thing I've done to my Camry. The smoke wasn't anywhere near as intense as some of the videos I've seen, but it took awhile to wear off. To be honest, I think my car actually idles a bit rougher than it did before...but when I hit the gas it might feel the slightest bit smoother. Maybe that's just in my head.

Anyways, I had wanted to catch what I did on tape, just for future reference and to show to some friends, but my nine year old brother couldn't quite work the camera...so we didn't get sucking up the stuff or shooting it back out. But oh well. First step on a long road for me

Thanks for all your answers, guys.

EDIT: Hey, PS, is my signature too big? ^^

its probably not your imagination. Seafoaming cleans the engine but not the spark plugs, maybe they are fouled a little.

So did anyone determine the muffler he was using.......is it a Magnaflow? (I know there is nothing listed for Toyota on the Magnaflow site)


Thanks

The muffler is Magnaflow (he had a sticker on his trunk lid).

It's this one I'm pretty sure.

Anyone suggest the best or a good thread to read that gives info on sea foam, what it does, what ways to use it, where is it sold....?

I'm always reluctant to pour anything into the engine or an engine component, but this site is loaded with threads mentioning sea foam.
