well the can looks like it's about 80 years old [Razz]

you put it in your engine via vacuum line and it cleans out all the carbon deposits. just go to autozone, napa etc. and read the bottle

Hydrolocked motor. Worse case being a bent rod.

I personally think it's a gimmick like Fuel Injector Cleaner and Octane Boosters.

It is to decarbonize your engine. I have used the GM stuff not the sea foam before. We actualy used a bore scope to do a before and after look at a cyl. We used the GM top end cleaner on. It removed a good 90% of all the carbon in there. This was on a very carboned up cyl. it would ping when you free reved it LOL
