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

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.
