i used seafoam too. it knocked the compression down to 65ish on all four cylinders. total loss.

if it didnt help, obviously you had some more serious problems with the motor that a simple additive can't fix.

RE: Seafoam/Techron/generic/Marvel Mystery Oil

as i said, some carbon is necessary in old engines. i was hoping to get away with valve seals so i seafoamed it to see what would happen. the stuff works. just don't use it on an engine with high milleage unless you know the engine was well cared for. as a fuel additive i've been told it can eat o-rings so use it lightly in efi engines.

Water trickled in the intake will do just as good of a job removing top end carbon as anything else:
