most people like to use the brake booster line...

When you sea form be sure that the engine is hot.. otherwise it won't be as effective...

If you have further questions there's lots of how to's on youtube with sea foam

Another tip: Don't pour it in so fast that the engine stalls; you'll hydrolock it and possibly damage the engine. Let it suck the seafoam into the line, and then when the can is empty, kill the engine and let it sit for 30 mins.

Start it up after the 30 mins has passed and enjoy the smokescreen.

Also, I recommend using the brake booster line.

I just did mine tonight.. Smoked the whole block around my house.

Just a quick fyi... 1/3 in the brake booster, 1/3 in crank case.. And last 3Rd in gas.

You should do oil change after you put in crank case.. I drove it about 25 miles tonight. Oil and plugs getting done tomorrow morning.
