Should I sea foam before or after I put all my new parts in?

If you have a running vehicle as it sits, I'd run it before. There's no reason to Seafoam through new parts. The whole purpose of Seafoam is to clean deposits off dirty parts. Remember, that if you use it in the crankcase, you'll have to change the oil after about 100 miles, at worst no more than 250 miles.

Alright maybe i'll grab a can or 2 after work. If I remember right, if you have a s/c you don't use the brake booster right?

Alright will do. Time for a smoke show hehe.

-- Mon Apr 26, 2010 10:57 pm --

Well I did the seafoam through the vac line and put some in the tank. When I first started it back up it didnt smoke to bad so I let it sit for a minute or two and then I figured I'd go for the spirited drive and wow was it fun! Figured I'd get on 21 so I had to go through downtown and im sitting at the light and a car comes up behind me and when I go I think there was 2 car lengths between us and I couldnt see the ladies headlights. I love this stuff!

Oh and the car is running very nicely.

Seafoam is good stuff, I'm a strong believer in it.
