Celica Forums General Discussion Engine and Performance OIL CONSUMPTION SOLUTION

I'm reposting this:

The oil consumption problem on 1ZZ-FE motors is caused by gummed up oil rings. The build up of half burnt oil causes the rings to stick in a contracted position inside thier ring groove on the piston. This causes them not to come in full contact with the piston walls, causing oil to get by them & to burn off. In fact once it starts, the problem makes it self worse.

The solution is to put a specialized solvent designed for this purpose into the oil. The solvent is supposed to disolve the crud that holds the ring in & free it up. If it works, you will be good as new.

As soon as I find out what the name of the solvent is, I will post it.

How Many Mechanics Use SEA FOAM
In Tune-Up of 4 Cycle Gasoline Carbureted or Fuel Injected Engines
Autos, Trucks, and Tractors

1. With engine warm, slowly pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint through carburetor or throttle body throat. (If vehicle is port injected slowly pour SEA FOAM through direct manifold vacuum line that will feed all cylinders, possible sources are P.C.V. valve or brake booster line.) This will pull SEA FOAM down on top of the pistons and to the back of the intake valves to dissolve carbon. Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 minutes. If severe carbon build up is apparent, use more Sea Foam as previously directed. Make sure exhaust is well ventilated when using Sea Foam in these various ways as fumes will be extreme for a short time.

2. Pour 1/3 to 1/2 pint into oil crank case to clean rings, lifters, dirty parts and remove moisture.

3. Pour 1/3 to 1 full pint into fuel tank to clean injectors, carburetor jets, fuel lines and remove moisture.

4. Immediate Results: Smoother idle, increased R.P.M.'s better throttle response and improved performance. See label on can for detailed results for use in each area.

FUEL TANK, CARBURETOR, INJECTION and OIL CRANKCASE.

For Peak Performance, Use SEA FOAM Every 2,000 to 5,000 Miles

-A 100% pure petroleum product for use in all gasoline and diesel type engines, both 2 and 4 cycle. OXYGEN SENSOR SAFE.
-Cleans dirty engine parts internally by removing harmful gums, varnish and carbon. WORKS AND PERFORMS INSTANTLY.
-Removes moisture from oil crankcases and fuel tanks.
-Stabilizes and conditions fuels. Use for engine storage.
-Cure hesitations, stalls, pings and rough idle due to carbon buildup.
-Helps pass emissions test. EPA Registered.

When Used Thru Injection or Carburetor

-Cleans carbon build up
-Cleans intake valves and pistons
-Gives smoother idle
-Cleans catalytic converter odors
-Cures hesitations and pings
-Restores power and pickup
-With warm engine running, SLOWLY poor 1/2 pint through carburator, throttle body or direct manifold vacuum line that will feed ALL CYLINDERS. Possible sources are P.C.V. valve or brake booster line. Turn ignition off. Restart engine after 5 minutes. Be sure exhaust is well ventilated. Fumes will be extreme for a short period of time.
-For use in injector cleaning machines, use 50% SEA FOAM and 50% fuel.
-Fill diesel filters with SEA FOAM to clean injectors fast.

When Added to Crankcase (Oil)

1. Frees sticky lifters and rings
2. Increases R.P.M.'s vacuum and compression
3. Cleans dirty parts
4. Removes moisture
5. Cleans PCV valve systems

One pint treats 10 quarts of oil (avg. 1 1/2 ounce per quart).

-When Added to Fuel Tank
-Cleans fuel injectors and carburetor jets
-Cleans carbon as you drive
-Lubricates upper cylinders
-De-ices and removes moisture
-Diesel full conditioner and anti gel
-Stabilizes fuel

One pint treats 8-25 gallons of fuel (average 1 ounce per gallon).

Thank you for providing this cool information. but anyone knows how to use this cool stuff thru injection or carburetor for Celica GT ??
<<I don't even know where are they.. >>

On another note, I went looking for this stuff a while ago and couldn't find any. I'll keep looking though.

But one more question.. How come when I take the PCV hose off, my engine can't get a start?? therefore, I put half bottle of seafoam into the injection when my engine is off, and then put everything back. Finally, start my engine. once the engine get a start, lots of smoke come out..
Is that OK?

The reason the engine won't start is because it has a huge air leak with the disconnected PCV hose. This lets air in past the MAFS, and the engine can't match it with fuel since it has no clue what's going on. The best way to do it would be to have someone else start the engine and sit inside the car. Unhook the PCV hose and plug it with your thumb, having the person inside rev the engine if the revs drop while you're doing this. Then, take your thumb off and pour in some Seafoam, making sure the person inside is still revving when necessary. After that, plug up the hose again and wait a few seconds before putting more in. You want to add a little SeaFoam at a time, not all at once, so you'll go through this process a few times.

And yes, once the Seafoam gets into the engine and loosens all the buildup, it will burn, causing black smoke to come out the exhaust. Don't worry, it's a good thing.

about how much does it cost?

okay i just bought some of the seafoam at my local autozone... 2 for $9.99

where do you use it again? gas tank? and wat else? something about PCV hose? where is that?

oh and do you need to have a full gas tank before adding the seafoam to it?

some should make a "how to" on this?

Yah, but does anyone have any actual experience with Seafoam working for this particular problem?

The stuff Toyota used wasn't sea foam. I forget the name & I will have to ask again. Basically they added it to the oil & ran the motor at 2000RPM for 15minutes, drained the oil, put in fresh & did it again, drained the oil & did an oil & filter. The rings freed up & the engine burns very little oil now.

Oil ring issues don't show up on compression tests. I was getting between 185 & 190 over all four. The two compression rigs should hold the compression, the oil ring (3rd ring) is the one that gets stuck.

I know, I gotta ask the dealer again.

If you have stuck oil rings they will not effect a compression test.

If you have worn out compression rings, adding oil may improve your compression.

These two statements have nothing to do with each other
