What are the advantages to cleaning out the carbon? Just looks better or what?

It also removes carbon from places such as valves and piston tops. Which I feel restores compression...

Maybe the stinking Seafoam fouled my right o2 sensor causing it to throw this right o2 lean code I have had for a while now. I guess it can't hurt to replace the sensor and find out.

I use bg induction cleaner and 44k. I think they work better then seafoam, they are more expensive, but i get them for free.

Where do you get sea foam, because i have looked at 2 seperate NAPAs and neither carried it. Where else can i find it or a similair product. All NAPA has is Deep Creep.

My post:

I used Seafoam and it caused both my O2's to crap out on me.
I would say there is a good chance that the Seafoam caused your problem.

Does that equate to HP gained?
