Don't forget it's a long way to NJ from this side of the Atlantic. There are different products available to do similar jobs.

Yes is the short answer. I've never seen Sea Foam over here. I looked it up and it appears to be applied in a similar fashion.

The product/company I mentioned is called EcoTek. They call it Power Boost:

It essentially decokes the valves and head while the engine is warmed up and running. Clears out varnish and gum. The reason I called it a foam is because that is what you spray into the intake, cleaning chemicals formatted as a foam.

It works very well for the clicking of the valves. If you have other problems caused by gummed up injectors you would be better using the variant that you add to the gasoline. I notice SeaFoam has that in tins as well.

Hope that helps,

Joe
