Re: Cleaning your engine of evil carbon

Hmm I keep thinking I have this stuff down, and then having second thoughts. I pour right into the TB, but basically going to the same place. How do you guys get so much smoke? lol... I poured it in until it was just about stalled, and then I finally got THICK white smoke for a bit...I turned it off then, poured a tiny bit more in, and started it up 20 minutes later. I got white smoke for a half minute or so, but it wasn't really really thick, or enough to create a huge haze or building-high cloud like I notice others seem to get.

Maybe my engine's too clean but I don't think so. I've done this with 2 cans of GM TEC and 3 of SeaFoam, and each time I still get more white smoke. Just wondering why I can't seem to get the "forever and ever" smoke...but I don't understand how one would get that anyway, because eventually the stuff's gotta burn off.

I noticed water mentioned too to steam clean it. I was just thinking of a happy medium here....would not be free, but dirt cheap compared to the cleaners... How about doing this with a load of plain isopropyl aclohol?
