BMW Lifter Tick? SEAFOAM!!!

[ghrpdx]

If a car is properly maintained (which it appears this car has not been), it doesn't hurt to rev your engine. My car has 122,000 miles on it and I rap it to redline several times a day. I've always driven my cars like that and never had problems. If don't bother maintaining the vehicle, then you're going to have problems.

i will now drink my vodka,as i laugh my ass off!!

[shoprat17]

sad thing is i've seen dealerships that offer that carbon clean stuff on new cars (bg, pretty much glorified sea foam)

[Subarooty88]

[thunderbird948]

Al Gore must be crying now

[mrgreen386dls]

[xcountrygirl20x]

[diedie111590]

Well if you rev it like that for long periods and often, of course you're going to have problems.

[Norv952]

sounds like a skeleton w@#king in a biscuit tin

[michaelhpedersen]

Sounds and looks to me like you put Diesel in your gas tank.

[BlackClover01]

Someone put Kronic in the fuel tank haha

[bgjon87]

OHCs have lifters?

[swimmergarrett]

sounds like one of your cylinders is not firing

[davidmaclee]

i think dude had a beamer and an exhaust tip with a motor that seen more than just the redline on a regular basis

[danbogart]

Just so everyone knows, it wasn't my car (it was the guys in the drivers seat). It had 185,000 miles on the motor, so I seriously doubt he was expecting much of anything.

[TheMishchuk]

100% lawn mover sounds like black & decker

[journey994]

maybe it could have something to do with the dip shit revving his engine on a cold start?

[fluxsage]

If he followed the directions right, he would have stalled out while feeding the seafoam in through a brake booster line. The car would be warm. Also, it is recommended to throttle up in burst over a period of 5 minutes or to have a drive with a few nice pulls for about 15 minutes. Seafoam will not help a bent lifter, however, which is caused from a life of over revving. Most likely it was already damaged and would have been made worse after hard revving at that point.

[mattmench]

@journey994 maybe you could read the description dumbass

[dXMETRIXb]

time for a new top end.

[MrBigbadboy2010]

blown head gasket

[asus3571]

motor took a shit after the seafoam right?

[Skandalos]

Ticks to fast for a lifter, Id guess. A lifter ticks with half engine speed. You can easily count the ticks at idle, like count to 5 in one second.

[Rabbit98201]

Poor 3 series.... sounds like lawn mower.... Im guessing Everett?

[sunnyjason]

seafoam into cylinders only cleans the cylinders.

you need to add it to the oil before an oil change.

[dontstreetrace]

put it in the oil.

[Wezs020]

We had that tooo, the turbo was like shit

[schoarama87]

engine doesnt sound healty

[Tupac1524]

why would you rev on a cold start?

[ADSaaron]

@Tupac1524 its probably not a cold start. Your suppose to put the sea foam in the car while is running, turn the car off, then finish putting in the sea foam and start it back up

[1surenolove4life3]

red zone for a hour it should go away mate ;)

[lbreevesii]

You do realize that a primary cause of lifter tick is gummed lifters and that you need to be running the seafoam in the oil, not the intake right?

[09victoryrc]

Next time try banana skins into the oil,works like a charm after they "work in "

[danbogart]

Nope. Motor took a shit.

[marek0086]

@danbogart~ u use a lifter-free-up additive to free stuck lifters!.... not this crap!

[ericj28]

did the ticking go away??

mine does the same thing. im prolly gonna need new lifters though

[sold13r45]

I seafoamed my e34 bmw and now it won't accelerate when in drive but revs fine in park. P.S. I only threw it in the crankcase and gas tank.

[zJACKRABBIT]

@sold13r45 did you change the oil/filter and the fuel filter? the seafoam will gum the fuck out of your fuel filter

[sold13r45]

@zJACKRABBIT Yeah I did, I wouldn't suggest using seafoam. My tranny went out not too long after.

[lbreevesii]

@sold13r45 What correlation is there between using seafoam and your transmission going out?
