Default so i just sea foamed my hx

97 with almost 190k miles. don't think it's ever had anything like sea foam in it. smoked out this whole block haha the cops even rolled up cos they thought it was a fire. and i haven't even started it back up yet and revved it.

Did you pour it into the crankcase? If so change your oil.

im interested to see if you have any problomes in the future with 190k miles. i heard over 100k is bad cause the carbon is whats keeping your rings sealed. if your all good after a month, im for sure going to try it

lol I did it at night so people wouldn't notice

I put some in my lawnmower and the entire back yard looked like it was on fire, but it brought the engine back to life.
