lol.. you might want to read up about not revving it hard after using seafoam. No lubrication + high revs = bad things happening

I was thinking the same thing, there was a vid on dsmtuners or was it talk? cant remember, dude was hitting the rev limiter and bam, and well rod in drive way, the rest you figure it out lol..

I'm thinking of having Mazda do theres on mine once i get it inspected (finaly got a plate on mine) local dealer has a specail, oil change,chassis, cabin filter, air filter and there service for carbon sludge cleaning for $155

I pull seafoam through the maintenance ports and let it sit for 30-60 min. Then i pull 2 cycle oil through to coat the rotor housings. Typically im doing other things while the seafoam is sitting within my engine, oil change, etc. Then when ever i'm done, pull 2 cycle through about 5 seconds of cranking as it pours in. Reconnect the ESS and put the AC on recirculate, lol.

I know I wouldn't be revving like that after a cold start...

Still amusing to see the fog machine effect. Especially when it's done with 2 cars...

ahhh, didnt know you were doing it so often. Makes sense now. Nothing like a good seafoaming to wake up the crowd.

^I did that once before, and people actually were convinced there was a fire. There had been a fire the week prior, and there was so much you couldn't see my car, which was utterly ridiculous(It was also a white car, anyway).

Yeah, 911 was almost called, haha.

But that pic cornholio, is just intense.
