I just sea foamed the intake and put the rest in the gas tank. And there was no smoke out the tail pipe, during or afterwards. Same thing when I used tap water. Even let it run for over ten minutes after and still nothing. That ever happen to anyone else?

 

Your engine probably didn't have much, if any carbon build up in it. I'd take it as a good sign!

 

Yup, the first time I ever did that, she smoked like a chimney. Each time since, hardly anything at all (at about six month intervals).

 

Just maybe, water works BETTER than Seafoam!!!!!!!!!!!

 

That's why I did water the first time months ago. I researched both before ever doing it. I agree.

 

Thanks for bringing this to light!!!

Perhaps some other folks would like to try it.

 

 

Popcorn nothing!

You do the water treatment followed by Seablown and let us know.

 

LOL I'm just lost for words..and no thank you I spent good money on my Spectra to keep water out of my engine. But hell looks to be a waste of money now, everyone else is putting water in their engines.

 

no just cruiser lol...

j/k...water in the intake is a long standing way to knock carbon off.. old school trick

 

Water/coolant entering the combustion chamber basically "Steam Blasts" the piston cylinder wall.
Its not good for the cylinder walls. The water will wash the oil film away that the piston/rings ride on for lubrication, and can score the cylinder along with excessive wear.
Water will also cause little rust pits in the cylinder walls, water is also much thinner than oil and will slip past the rings into the crank case, mixing with oil and diluting it too thin and will also cause rust pits and scars in bearings and journals. I just think its a bad idea even in small amounts.

 

You didn't follow the directions on the can.....

 

Might want to tell Banks Power that water injection is harmful to ICE's. And aircraft engine manufacturers, water injection was used extensively on high compression military aircraft engines with a ton of ignition advance until the Jet age came long.
It is entirely harmless to cylinder walls, bearings and such provided you aren't using the garden hose and introducing so much water it can't all convert to steam. In fact Gasoline is a much better oil solvent than water, I'd worry more about getting that on my cylinder walls.

It's one of those things that sounds like an iffy idea, but I'd bet money that a single verifiable case of it causing damage when done correctly doesn't exist.

 

You have to understand that the "mist" of water that you are introducing is in the cylinder for a fraction of a fraction of a second.. it does not sit on a cylinder wall long enough to create rust... it was in an environment that is so hot it is turned to steam instantly. In the event some moisture DID get past the rings.. it would be evaporated out of your oil through the CCV system... and put back through the intake again anyway...

The fraction of a fraction of a second it is in your combustion chamber is not near enough time to remove lubrication from your walls and cause scoring...

 

He's from Alaska, guys. This time of year he'd be chucking ice cubes down his throttle body anyway.
