While doing seafoam to my engine, I spilled a little on the engine. Is there anything I should be worried about when I start up or drive?

 

I would replace the motor ASAP and be more careful next time.







No, you'll be fine. I've spilled some down my bro's QX4. The brake booster hose was a PITA to use.

 

i would think to just wipe or flush it off asap. by the way has anyone hit all the different spots of origin at the same time with this seafoam since each spot does something different? (gas tank, crank case, and booster then of course change the oil?)

 

Yup engine is toast

I'm sure its fine, probably just the same as getting alittle oil on the engine. It should just burn right off.

 

the car is worthless now. I'll be by in the morning to pick it up and take it away for you

you should be fine, seafoam isn't going to destroy anything.

 

hey you ball busting bastids lol just kidding. but i see some experts came by and i was just wondering has anyone done all three at same time (gas tank,crank case, and brake booster followed by the oil change) i think it's a fair question so what's the groups experience?

 

check out the fluids and lubricants section, there are about 100 threads on seafoam (the most effective use is into the IM, though...)

 

thanks irish, i only have a small amount of posts because i read alot before i post and i have read them mostly all that i could find. i've learned that each application yeilds a diff result/cleans a diff part of the engine or systems in the engine. but none talk about doing all the treatments at once and if this would hurt or help the engine/performance/car . from what i've read the brake booster/smoke out the rear is the most effective at cleaning upper engine but i just read resently how putting it in the gas tank enabled a member to get better gas milage and that is something i'm definately interested in, lol. anyway just wondering if anyone specifically did all three applications simultaneously. otherwise i'll just use common sence and do gas 200 miles before oil change then crank case 100 miles before o.c followed by brake booster right before o.c. i'll let everyone know how all three promote better gas milage and what ever performance enhancements i may gain. thanks

 

it's better to do them one at a time. Never a good idea to do multiple mods or multiple 'cleanings' at once - because if something gets messed up, it will be alot harder to diagnose the cause.

do one at a time, make sure everything is working well....then do the next one....then the next...
