[@mitchellgiebler3396]

life time supply to ya man....sea foam hook the guy up!!

[@usonthegwaii]

no, water doesn't clean the throttle bodies/carbs and intake valves like sea foam does. water does clean the combustion chamber and exhaust valve though. i wouldn't put water in my fuel tank to clean the fuel passages/injectors either. i also fill my fuel filter with seafoam when changing it on my 7.3idi diesel too...works wonders. seafoam in the tank also stopped a generator i aquired from"hunting" for idle too. and works great as a fuel stabilizer when storing things like pressure washers and chainsaws too. add to tank then run it for a minute or two.i' ve been using it for many YEARS and never have fuel issues in any of my motors, atv included.

[@802Garage]

I have no idea how water would do anything close to what Seafoam does.

[@GModBMXer]

802 Garage It's called steam cleaning. Water is the most effective way to clean out a hydrocarbon mess in your engine. There's plenty of articles about it to. Using a spray bottle into yhe throttle body is an easy way to clean out the exhaust valves and piston heads

Arguably the most comprehensive series of Seafoam test videos on KZbin! Keep going!

I've watched so many YT videos with great content that were rendered all but useless because the authors didn't follow these practices.

[@ramonalocksmith435]

Hey Todd. I've been having fun going through a bunch of your old videos just to make sure I haven't missed any for "thumbs up". I realized something with these seafoam system videos, that when you moved beyond the ranger pickup videos, to the air-cooled utility engines, you were only using one part of the seafoam treatment, and only using the intake/hotsoak part. The fuel additive and the crankcase additive are just as important for a deep clean that cleans the valves + guides and the piston skirts / cylinder rings / grooves. I'm kind of curious now to see just how much improvement that would make.

Now you have my attention. I have an old Craftsman edger that i bought in 1979. I haven't run it since about 1990. All I ever did was change the oil and spark plug, and sharpen the blade. I will have some Seafoam coming soon and I'll give it a try and see how it goes. Thanks for another great test.

[@GroverDuffield]

I have used both seafoam and water in different vehicles. I found seafoam performed well in company trucks that were not maintained well before I took the job. In the early 90's I moved to California from a non-EPA state. I had replaced my EPA carb on my Nissan pickup and was no longer using my 7 year old catalytic converter but still had it. I bolted the cat in and proceded to dribble water from a garden hose through the carb while maintaining a high idle for over half an hour. actually had a dribble of water coming out of my tailpipe. I took it in for emissions testing the next day. The truck had over 200k miles on it and passed the testing with flying colors. The test station said they rarely had vehicles test so cleanly. I had over 300k on it when I got rid of it.

[@beckywatt5048]

Grover Duffield I was taught to use water drip also,never used it on a vehicle w/ a cat on it,I presume it cleaned the cat with an hydrogen or steam reaction .A clogged or fouled cat probably causes most problems.(computer controlled carburetors what a nightmare here in the north.)

I think the reason for the better compression maybe down to the rings being decoked or valve seats being cleaned up. what would have been even better is if you had done a test after running it and before you had added it straight to the combustion chamber. good vids keep them going!

[@ProjectFarm]

Mike, Yes, agree with you. Rings decoked and valve seats cleaned up. Thank you for watching the video and commenting!

[@Sam-fj1ug]

In the old days mechanics would drain the oil out of the engine then use kerosene to fill for oil and run for a minute or two then drain it,,,,voyolha clean engine. A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.......

[@atlaseagle9353]

I personally used diesel. drained oil, filled up with diesel, disconnect power line to coil pack or coils. crank a few times. let it soak. repeat the cranking every hour or so through the day. finally. reconnect the power to the coil packs. start your engine a few times. do not let it run any longer then 10 seconds at a time at the most. drain diesel, refill and change the oil filter, run the engine till you reach operating temperature. drain again, and change filter. it deeply cleans the engine if done right. it gets rid of the oil sludge and burnt oil build up in engine. sea foam in the other hand, cleans valves, the tip of the pistons, and the throttle body.

[@ProjectFarm]

Sam, Others have commented in the other Project Farm videos recommending this approach. I hope to try this approach in a future video! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

I'm curious about something, I'm not trying to troll and I am by no means any kind of expert, but wouldn't removing material from the combutsion chamber LOWER compression?

[@ProjectFarm]

Chauncey, Great question! Yes, it would lower compression assuming there was no improvement to rings and valves getting cleaned and sealing better. I believe the seafoam helped with that. Thanks for watching the video and for commenting!

[@ibanezmetal321]

Yeah man, thanks for answering my question. Makes sense.

[@wildefox1478]

It's hard to get an accurate compression reading in some small four stroke engines especially horizontal shaft engines because all of the horizontal shaft engines I've torn down had an automatic decompression system on the camshaft which is obviously so it's easier to pull the engine over with the rope. Seafoam did do a great job at cleaning and even increasing the compression slightly in your engine. That's awesome that you've had that edger for 25+ years and it still runs like a champ. Good old Briggs and Stratton engines will run forever if you take care of them.

[@konnerkramer3381]

btw that gauge doesn't measure compression it measures cylinder pressure. the two are similar but not the same. compression is a measurement of volume while cylinder pressure is the measurement of pressure the piston creates as it rises.

[@Liveforeever]

Project Farm great video, no blabbing on and straight to the point, nice work man!

[@mikefranklin7452]

The gauge does not measure cylinder pressure because the cylinder does not hold any pressure. Its called a compression gauge because it measures the compression pressure created by the piston and piston compression rings as it compresses the air taken in by the piston and forced upward towards the engine head there for calling it a compression test. So in other words the compression gauge measures the compression pressure created by the piston and piston rings.

[@adolfoabhurtadoc6106]

Hi! I have a question for you, I dont know or undestand why did the compresion has imrove with the carbon removal. Carbon use space in the combustion chamber and so it less down the space aviable; so it must improve some compresion. By removing that dirt space is increase so compresion should decrese. Thats what I think. If I am wrong please tell me so. Great video!

[@Static1011]

but also when you remove that carbon taking up space, you allow more room for more air to be drawn in the cylinder.

[@brianbethune862]

My guess would be it freed up the rings so they sealed the cylinder walls better and increased the compression .A good thing for power and efficiency.Visit engineering explained on you tune for and explanation of why higher compression is better.Of course this is within the capability of the engine design and fuel being used.

[@rixogtr]

Do your neighbours like you ? :D

[@wcrowe75]

Compression in a motor tends to build as the engine experiences more revolutions until the presser exceeds the "containment" pressure of the valves/piston rings. I believe the reason for the high disparity between your before and after results for the first several pulls was perhaps due to a more "exuberant" pull after seafoam. I do believe the final pull numbers though, and a 5% increase in compression is nothing to sneer at! Nice video!

After I used seafoam on my engine it fixed my cracked head gasket, cracked engine block, slipping clutch, and made my car sound smoother and it also fixed my a thrown rod and gave me an additional 50 hp. car mechanics and oil changes are just a conspiracy by oil companys to sell filters and a liquid that basically last years. seafoam will fix anything...

[@richhurd2425]

Before they even thought of Sea Foam we were using DexronII ATF to clean engines and I would but 1 qt to 100 gal of diesel with an early Cat 3406 engine to keep the injectors clean. The company I drove for at the time was having problems with the fuel quality and called me into the office to ask my what I was doing to the engine. I had the only truck in the fleet without problems so they started doing it in all the trucks. I do not know if it really did anything but it sure seemed to and I used it in my cars too just like you did the other products and it did seem to clean them up both top and bottom as I also added it to the oil just before I did an oil change to flush the system.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for this recommendation.

[@waynes.2983]

Rich Hurd dude seafoam has been around longer than Dexron 2 has.

[@brucejones2354]

Rich Hurd , the worst thing that the government did was to remove the sulfur from the fuel. That's what lubricated the pumps and injectors in the diesel engines. Putting the atf in replaces the sulfur. One of my friends got pulled over for a fuel check to see if he was using red dye (off road fuel doesn't pay road tax) fuel. When the officer dipped his tank he found the fuel had a red tint. He accused him of not paying the tax . when he told him about the atf the officer said we take the sulfur out and you put it back in. The driver said if you wouldn't have taken it out I wouldn't have to put it back in. Driver left without a ticket.

I'm so glad i found your channel. Very interesting projects and tests. Simple and informative Great work brother.

[@ProjectFarm]

Matt, Thank you very much for the encouraging words! Creating videos is a lot of work but I'm having a lot of fun putting these together. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

[@joetucholksi2004]

I love your channel, love your product testing

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank You

I'll pas on some advice/a thing I started doing recently if I want to run something through a carb. I have an old Airbrush which allows me to vaporise the fluid that I want to add. Works a treat.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for sharing.

[@carlodonnell146]

since seafoam can also be added to the oil, having it run past the rings into the sump shouldn't be a problem, should it?

[@mikeshomin8144]

In high school,1970, I used to use carb cleaner,or heet,heat, and pour it down the carb of my 1965 mustang. Had to pour slowly to keep it running. Was told by my auto shop instructor that it would free up any sticking rings and help remove carbon build up.

Thanks for the feedback.

[@zacharywooten9327]

Thanks for taking the time to make all of these. They're really interesting

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the positive comment.

[@jamesflanagan7102]

Absolutely wonderful video keep up the great work! I vote for Seafoam.

[@ProjectFarm]

James, Thank you for the encouraging comments regarding the video work! Also, thanks for voting!

[@timothypearce2668]

Have you tried to test the product zmax? There is a oil, fuel, and transmission additive. It is certified by the FAA for aviation use.

[@ProjectFarm]

I tested it against Lucas and it didn't seem to do as well.

[@TheJeremy5599]

Just an added point, and not to be against seafoam in any way, but I wonder how much of the smoke it creates is from it burning,if any? It would be interesting to see it added to a new engine,like a predator 212. It has always helped my engines,wether they are high mileage cars/trucks or powersports, but I've always wondered if it made smoke when burned in an otherwise "clean" engine

[@ProjectFarm]

Thanks for the feedback.

[@Walczyk]

Notice how big the black smoke cloud was? A lot more junk was burnt off. I love doing this for lawn mower engines. PB Blaster's Lawn Mower Tune Up is excellent!

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you for the feedback

[@dieseld4281]

When you put seafoam in the sparkplug hole & put the plug to steam you said make sure it doesn't hydro lock. Would it hydro lock if you pulled the cord while plug was still in?

[@ProjectFarm]

Yes, it would likely hydrolock.

[@dieseld4281]

Project Farm hey bud so in the past I have run the fuel in car dry & put in to cans of seafoam in your opinion do you think that's ok? Do you think it would do anything? Or even with very little gas in the car & adding 2 cans of seafoam?

[@jnljnl8485]

are you holding the throttle open during compression test? it will give a more accurate reading. we used to use water to clean the carbon out. as the droplets get turned into steam it blows the carbon out. I had the fire department called on me when cleaning the carbon out of a 318. I don't think the water is going to clean the ring lands as good as the seafoam soak but it cleans the chamber's real good.

[@ProjectFarm]

Jnl Jnl, I have the throttle in the wide open position. Looking directly into the carb, the throttle plate is open. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

[@SoddingaboutSi]

Thought I would come and find your first video. I don't think we can get Sedfoam in the UK.

[@ProjectFarm]

Thank you!

[@Eluderatnight]

I have just seafoamed a Johnson V4 looper outboard and found it dropped compression 15psi on one bank matching the two banks @120psi.

[@brianbethune862]

My guess is the sea foam removed excess carbon in the one bank of cylinders.Too much carbon in a cylinder is a bad thing and it causing excess compression can hurt your engine.My guess is that your engine ran considerably better despite the lower compression ratio on the one bank of the engine.Am I right?

[@atomedgesharpening]

about to seafoam my 1989 Toyota pickup today after you Ranger video. Good stuff man

[@ProjectFarm]

Maxwell, Those Toyota trucks last forever! Did you experience any improvements? Thanks for watching the video and commenting!

[@atomedgesharpening]

Yes sir! You could feel the whole truck idle before hand. Now? Smooth as silk. The low end torque had a half second delay when you'd mash the gas, now I can use my big toe on the pedal and it picks up just great. After the hot soak the smoke just poured out. I must have left a good half mile path through my neighborhood getting to the highway to really open it up. When starting it the engine had to crank about 3 times before it'd start up, now on the first turn over it's running. I haven't even run through the oil and gas yet, just put em in an hour ago, did the intake wash out at the same time. Immediate results.

[@johnportman8037]

Thanks for doing the testing in a clear and orderly way. Not surprised Sea Foam did improve compression a little. Glad you will be testing with water which has been my preferred method from my days on the farm a hundred years ago.

[@ProjectFarm]

John Portman, Thank you for the encouraging words. I plan to gradually increase the "science" involved in performing these tests as I acquire additional devices to measure change. Thank you for watching the video and commenting!

[@twistedjigco.548]

Yamaha ring free or sea foam for a 2 stroke outboard? Do you have any experience with ring free? Is sea foam just as good? Ring free isn’t cheap but if it’s better it’s worth it to me, thank you!

[@ProjectFarm]

I haven't tested ring free yet.

[@twistedjigco.548]

@@ProjectFarm Thank you for the reply, I ordered some anyways. Definitely would like to know tho🤘🏻

[@andyantoine9962]

I am very curious about the head gasket. Do you use the same gasket or a new one every time you disassemble the cylinder head. I think there are some head gasket that can't be reused
