Sea Foaming, Power foam, and the like fact or fallacy?

[sumo]

Im a believer. I had a 02 Honda accord v6 with egr insufficient flow Problems. Upon the removal of the Intake Plenum Revealed that the egr port was Filled with carbon and blocked the egr port hole. Inside was also black with carbon. I preformed a Bg induction service which is similar concept of Seafoam. I then had to take it apart again to Install a tube in the egr port to prevent it from happening again. I must say after it was done, it was clean as a whistle. It was actually gold inside and the port that was blocked wasnt anymore..

LOL! I just replaced my ERG valve in my '95 accord wagon. I manually cleaned all the EGR ports by hand, so I know exactly what you're talking about. Too damn bad you didn't post this a week ago. LOL!

Its not that difficult to manually clean an egr valve, and intake. You also know for sure its clean. The work is taking the manifold off talking tahoe now. You had it all apart to begin with. Putting a treatment to it you really do not know for sure it was completly cleaned just because the code went away. You knew because you took it apart again.


Many different intake designs, and methods of inducing the treatment to much uncertainty the job is actually done unless you take it apart. may as well manually clean it then you know.

I can respect this line of thought as well.

I don't think anyone can argue with that. But some, like me, use the treatment to clean before they have problems.

I agree with you Gordy, if you have a code or something else wrong due to the buildup, I would remove the manifold and it's related parts to clean and inspect.
