    Smile Sea Foam Intake Treatment

    I am thinking of pulling the vacuum line off my intake and spraying sea foam inside of it to hopefully remove of any built up oil varnish/gum from my intake and cylinder head intake ports. What are the PRO'S vs CON'S? What is the exact procedure? Any input is greatly appreciated.

    I have used water, Seafoam and auto transmission fluid down the carb. They all seem to work equally well at removing carbon.

    Auto trans fluid is like brake kleen. If either can't do the job, then you have cement in the lines.
