Adventures with Sea Foam Spray

Did the Sea Foam Spray treatment for the first time today. Results were different than expected, but I am satisfied. Thick clouds of smoke while introducing the spray into the intake, then little smoke fifteen minutes later during "spirited driving" portion of the process. Also, three misfire codes (cyl 1, cyl 2, and random misfire). Pulled over, inspected everything, cleared code, restarted the drive cycle. No code return, and engine temps and idle all normal. Car felt good, actually.

Next time I will do the water method. Sea Foam is too toxic. ChrisFix (YouTuber) used a scope to demonstrate equally good results with water.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
