I had a car that 2 cylinders had 20 compression, after a SEAFOAM treatment it had over 160 in all!

We bought 4 cans of Seafoam, do you recommend following the video instructions? We're not sure where the pvc valve is?

We don't have a PCV valve per se . We have a PCV system.

The appropriate place to add Seafoam to the top end is through the vacuum tree which is ender the throttle cam cover.

Slurp it ( the Seafoam) out of the can so as to not hydraulic lock the engine - that is, as they say in the popular vernacular, bad.

We did the Seafoam treatment today, didnt smoke a whole lot , engine runs stronger however it didnt fix that 5th cylinder.
We've decided to sell the wagon, it's going to auction next week, if anyone is interested i need 2300, as is.
