Seafoam or similar intake cleaning

Looks like I'll be saving up for the BG service now. So much for a $10 cleaner in a can

Complete bg service in my area was 100 plus tax and shop fees.

I'll try and get some after pics as I have put about 5k miles since the cleaning was done.

Before pics and videos should be on this site somewhere.

I am having the BG Fuel/Intake service done tomorrow at my dealer - how are you getting pics and what are you taking pics of?

I have access to a pretty high-quality small inspection camera from my work. Taking detailed photos of intake valves before and after.

$100 is cheap compared to my quoted $160

Did anyone notice an improvement in drivability after the bg treatment? I may just try the sea foam spray thought the intake before an oil change. It's worth a try.

It seemed to smooth out my slightly rough idle and my highway gas mileage improved about 2 mpg.

On my recent vacation we drove about 3k miles round trip with a fully loaded trunk.
Still averaged 28mpg driving through the hills west va .

Yup, no harm done with SF, just make sure you get the right place/line to pump it through.  I recently had BG service done on my nonGDI Edge, and I can say that a lot of the hesitation during pedaltometal action is gone.  90% or more.  Of course, you have 44K coming through the fuel tank also, along with the air induction system cleaning

Do the bg service twice and you can be into a meth kit.

Anyone who has meth actually checked to see what their valves look like?  Anyone near Cleveland Ohio that wants to check? I have the equipment to do it if interested.

I have. They look spotless after only 600 miles of driving. I used an inspection cam to look at them just the other day.

You didn't happen to check before meth did you? How many miles on the odo before meth.
