Canadian NAPA doesn't carry sea-foam!

[Big Bad James]

I went to NAPA today hoping to get some because I have an engine with some significant mileage on it (130,000 kilometres).

I asked if they carried it, and the guy behind the counter looked at me as if I was talking Portugese or something. He looked around the shelves aimlessly, then asked another guy behind the counter, who dumbfoundedly said "What?" "Sea-foam" I said. He gave me a deer-in-the-headlights look, and told me he'd never even heard of it.

Bloody useless tards. Where else can I find Sea-Foam?

i'd ship you some for exact cost, but its flammable, and i wouldnt want to be breaking any laws.

you can't buy Seafoam in canada, because it does not have french instructions on it, i joke you not, it is illegal to sell, and all the backwards hillbillies in canada dont know what your talking about when you say seafoam, its kinda funny

my advice, go to your GM dealer and buy some stuff called Cleens, it basically is the same stuff, its called a 'top end cleaner' and it smokes a lot when you put in your vacuum tube, much like seafoam

hope that helps

...lmao. I knew it was something stupid like that. :rolleyes: Gotta love our government, Quebec can force French-Dominant signage, but I can't buy ****ing Sea-Foam because the Frenchies can't read the instructions.

Time to go on a road-trip down south. I'm taking orders for Sea-foam. :D lol

Or maybe I'll just try that top-end cleaner and see how it works.

So this Cleens is basically the Same thing? What lines do I put it in?

bluebird, you're in the states, buy seafoam, y'know get the real thing [img]smile.gif[/img]

anyway, cleens, i just put it through the vacuum line behind the brake master cylinder (the brake booster line), and there it went, idle fell, smoke came out.... i tried the best i could to dump loads in at the end to stall the engine, but it didn't work... i left it for 20 mins. starting her up takes some pedal (gas), its hard to start, and boom my cul-de-sac was full of smoke [img]graemlins/thumbsup.gif[/img] cool stuff

hmmmn, Matt... might be the way to go [img]smile.gif[/img]
