i like this guy... he said "i hope you consider subscribing" that is really nice way of saying it. everyone else demands it. (just subscribed)
and most people say "like, subscribe, comment, blah blah blah" at the beginning. I'm like "dude i haven't even watched your crappy video yet"
what I like about your videos is that youre straight up about it and non biased
Thank you very much!
i'm surprised seafoam hasn't contacted you and given you a free case! are you reading this seafoam! the man deserves a free case for all the business he's sending you!
usonthegwaii, The water test results might not please Seafoam. I haven't performed the test yet; so, I don't know. However, most commenters are voting water over Seafoam. Thanks for watching the video and for commenting!
life time supply to ya man....sea foam hook the guy up!!
no, water doesn't clean the throttle bodies/carbs and intake valves like sea foam does. water does clean the combustion chamber and exhaust valve though. i wouldn't put water in my fuel tank to clean the fuel passages/injectors either. i also fill my fuel filter with seafoam when changing it on my 7.3idi diesel too...works wonders. seafoam in the tank also stopped a generator i aquired from"hunting" for idle too. and works great as a fuel stabilizer when storing things like pressure washers and chainsaws too. add to tank then run it for a minute or two.i' ve been using it for many YEARS and never have fuel issues in any of my motors, atv included.
I have no idea how water would do anything close to what Seafoam does.
802 Garage It's called steam cleaning. Water is the most effective way to clean out a hydrocarbon mess in your engine. There's plenty of articles about it to. Using a spray bottle into yhe throttle body is an easy way to clean out the exhaust valves and piston heads
The most unbiased guy on UA-cam 😀
Thank you
I agree! He proved his testing from beginning to end. He sure impressed me especially on such an old hard worked machine.
@Ultra CNC it
He Muslim
@@h7283 huh??
Look how young this channel is! PJ has come along way since these early days. By far one of my fav people on UA-cam!
Thanks!
@@ProjectFarm If it helps compression, it would probably be by unsticking rings and allowing them to spring out freely against the bore instead of being glued to the piston by carbon.
Same here. His tests are valid and relevant to me. By far they are the most concise.
Scientific Method. Changing one variable at a time. That's why I love this guy!
Thank You!
I really dig your channel sir. This is quality, intelligent, accurate stuff.
I can't believe the difference in your videos from then to now. I've loved watching the channel grow over these past five years or so!
Wow, thank you!
I have a 1966 Ford i6 300 circuit. First the 300 i6 is an awesome engine. Anyway I saw your show and decided to go ahead and try for myself and, I could not believe the difference in lifters and rockers the engine has more power running and sounding great. All day at work I told my co workers what I had done and the results I achieved. My mind was is totally blown still is. You dont know how much I love and support what you do. Thanks again I would have never tried what I did and boy am I glad, thank you P.F. I owe You one. Lol happy testing, keep on rocking my brother, peace to you and yours. The best in 2019
Impressive results! Thank you
I have a 69 300, I’m going to have to do this too! Thanks for the idea
@@jonbrozer 70 $t8 6 (300)
These are terrific! I really like that you've tried it in different kinds of engines and run different tests on it.
Eric, Thank you very much for the encouraging comments and thanks for watching the video!
I truly appreciate your common sense realistic tests. Thank you. Keep it up!
Thank you very much!
Wow! Blast from the past. How far you have come with your confidence and content production is amazing. Thanks for producing great content.
You are welcome!
Great test. I know this is an old video, but a very good practical example of these products in action. Renewed my faith in seafoam and Lucas. Thank you.
Thanks! Thanks for sharing.
I love watching these videos. it's fun to see the results.
Ivan, Thanks again for watching the video and commenting. We'll see if water is the winner!
Now you have my attention. I have an old Craftsman edger that i bought in 1979. I haven't run it since about 1990. All I ever did was change the oil and spark plug, and sharpen the blade. I will have some Seafoam coming soon and I'll give it a try and see how it goes. Thanks for another great test.
This guy is awesome. No BS, straight to the test. I watch the newer stuff and I was surprised to see this older video. Even in the early days, my man was doing the scientific approach with bare minimum equipment. The best.
Thanks!
Another great video, you do a great job fully explaining everything and I too can not wait to see what the water does.
Casey Gibson, Sir, thank you very much for the encouraging words! Thanks again for watching the video and commenting!

Project Farm ... Now that was a good example of measurable evidence. Way to go.
Parker Drag racing, Thank you very much for watching the video. I'm having fun with these projects and my oldest son is learning the basics. Trying to pass on a skill that will benefit him throughout his life.
Digitus Impudicus, Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
I am so glad I found your channel. I love watching your various test videos. It's amazing how much you've improved your quality with each successive video too.
Thank you!
I'm so glad i found your channel. Very interesting projects and tests. Simple and informative Great work brother.
Matt, Thank you very much for the encouraging words! Creating videos is a lot of work but I'm having a lot of fun putting these together. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
I just found this channel today... I can't believe how good the content is. building adapters to test compression, before/after testing, all the time taken to record, edit and post so much stuff. The internet owes you a debt....
Welcome aboard! Thanks for watching!
Hey Todd.
I've been having fun going through a bunch of your old videos just to make sure I haven't missed any for "thumbs up". I realized something with these seafoam system videos, that when you moved beyond the ranger pickup videos, to the air-cooled utility engines, you were only using one part of the seafoam treatment, and only using the intake/hotsoak part. The fuel additive and the crankcase additive are just as important for a deep clean that cleans the valves + guides and the piston skirts / cylinder rings / grooves. I'm kind of curious now to see just how much improvement that would make.
Heck yes! Another Seafoam video. Love these from you. SEAFOAM EVERYTHING
Witches Brew Animations, Thank you for the encouraging words. It'll be fun to test water this weekend...can hardly wait! Hope you enjoy the weekend and thanks for commenting!
All your videos our so thorough you really have a top-shelf program and your comment section is a tribute to your professionalism
Thanks so much!
This must be one of the first vids you did? You are definitely more confident and relaxed in your newer ones. Love them all! Thanks for the truth!
You are welcome!
Man, a walk behind edger! I haven't seen/used one of those in about 20 years. Much better than crappy 2-cycle string trimmer attachments that don't have the torque for thick grass...if you got the storage space.
thechosendude, I agree. I don't know if they even make walk-behind edgers anymore! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
@@ProjectFarm I think a few company’s do
Recall seeing one from my childhood in the 1960s.
I just subscribe to you , because that's the best proofing test video ever seen ...

Thanks for the positive comment.
Your videos have grown a lot in this years. Congratulaciones pall!! Please continúe improving your videos!!
Good one !!! Thanks. Cheers from Canada
Thank you very much!
I have used both seafoam and water in different vehicles. I found seafoam performed well in company trucks that were not maintained well before I took the job. In the early 90's I moved to California from a non-EPA state. I had replaced my EPA carb on my Nissan pickup and was no longer using my 7 year old catalytic converter but still had it. I bolted the cat in and proceded to dribble water from a garden hose through the carb while maintaining a high idle for over half an hour. actually had a dribble of water coming out of my tailpipe. I took it in for emissions testing the next day. The truck had over 200k miles on it and passed the testing with flying colors. The test station said they rarely had vehicles test so cleanly. I had over 300k on it when I got rid of it.
Grover Duffield I was taught to use water drip also,never used it on a vehicle w/ a cat on it,I presume it cleaned the cat with an hydrogen or steam reaction .A clogged or fouled cat probably causes most problems.(computer controlled carburetors what a nightmare here in the north.)
Arguably the most comprehensive series of Seafoam test videos on UA-cam! Keep going!
Also I want to say a huge "THANK YOU!" for using good video making practices: 1) Planning out your video before shooting - AKA scripting 2) Simple, steady camera work - tripods are your friend 3) Good audio - stay close to the mic, avoid windy conditions and other background noise 4) Editing - chop out redundant footage and make careful use of time-lapse.
I've watched so many YT videos with great content that were rendered all but useless because the authors didn't follow these practices.
grantman64, thank you very much for the encouraging words. I greatly appreciate constructive feedback on improving the quality of the videos. So, if you have suggestions within a certain video, I'd greatly appreciate your advice. Thank you for watching the video and commenting!
I think you are already doing a great job with your videos -- keep doing what you're doing! In my comment I was trying to point out to other video producers that you've set a good example to follow.
We love you for your honesty, please dont be sold out like other guys. Thanks you !
Thank you very much!
Hey man! I read the msds (material safety data sheet) on seafoam, looks like it's diesel, ATF, napatha and acetone... maby u should make some of your own and give it a try?
I'm definitely not a chemist! Thank you for watching the video and commenting!
Project Farm neither am I! but I'm gunna give er a try! I got a whole shit pile of old trucks in the yard here, always fun to try it on one of them. I did a video on wd40 vs ether for diesel cold starts, check it out if ya want! I ain't trying to push my vidyas on your channel, it's just the video was pretty entertaining
Smells like acetone
@@ziptiesnbiasplies when you mow the grass and find a truck...
@@ziptiesnbiasplies lol or use brake Kleen
Thanks for the videos. I'd be interested in seeing how Berryman's B12 Chemtool does.
Isn't that a carb cleaner?
Man I am loving these videos. Great work. The soaking definitely seemed to do some more work. Like how you are replying to the viewers and doing tests for them. I doubt water will be effective. Keep it up.
802 Garage, Thank you for the encouraging words! I do the best I can to reply to as many comments as I can. I really do appreciate peoples comments and advice! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
great video! I always look forward to the results.
Erich H, Thanks for the encouraging words! Also, thanks for watching the video and commenting!
Like the vids keep them coming . I'm definitely going to have to pick up the can of liquid Seafoam .
Michael, Thanks for watching the video and for commenting!
Michael F
ope like that usually have an automatic throttle, that opens up all the way while it's starting, to get it to the preset rpm
Real men use cinder blocks for knee pads to maintain comfort on the job.
lol. Thank you!
I love these videos. I don’t know how you have time to do all of them but it helps me out so much. From air filters to sea foam. I’ve used sea foam for years. Snake oil. Use it for everything.
Thanks!
Not sure why I missed this one you made. Been watching from the beginning. Love your videos..
Thanks!
Let's see, well the other seafoam guy, Chris Fix, still didn't do the water ingestion test. I hope you do.
Oscar Flyer, Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
Oscar Flyer what is that my dude?
About :540 it fired sound like it fired once without the spark plug
You heard that too.
Yeah I was tripping
i heard it
Exactly what I thought.
exactly .crazy lol
Ah, the beginnings of such an amazing channel 🤗 love it!
Thanks!
Please don't and stop breathing in these fumes. Your family, Our family will need you to continue teaching our future generations. This message is for all !!
Nice. I vote water.
Christopher, All votes for water thus far! Thanks for watching the video and for commenting!
Christopher Haynie I'm agree with you on the water. Seafoam fools people because of the"smoke". Water does the same thing without the big "smoke" cloud.👍
use a 50 50 antifreeze mix have you ever looked in an engine with a blown headgasket the cylinders effected are spotless
adam moon, Excellent idea! Thanks for watching the video and for commenting!
adam moon only problem is it causes deposits on valves and spark plugs
ive seen hundreds of engines with blown head gaskets and the valves where as spotless as the piston tops never really looked at sparkplugs close usualy change hose there cheap
Dylan Houser Seafoam does that aswell. It happens with any engine hydrocarbon cleaning
Antifreeze is actually a really good cleaner. I have actually used antifreeze to clean parts out in the oil field when I have run out of carb cleaner.
Nice video. I look forward to seeing the water test. Thanks!
Grants Pass TV Repair, Thank you for watching the video and commenting!
You reviewed to my favorite products restore and seafoam I like the way you do your testing awesome job guys
keep up the great work
Thank you, will do!
In the old days mechanics would drain the oil out of the engine then use kerosene to fill for oil and run for a minute or two then drain it,,,,voyolha clean engine.
A long time ago in a galaxy far far away.......
I personally used diesel. drained oil, filled up with diesel, disconnect power line to coil pack or coils. crank a few times. let it soak. repeat the cranking every hour or so through the day.
finally. reconnect the power to the coil packs. start your engine a few times. do not let it run any longer then 10 seconds at a time at the most.
drain diesel, refill and change the oil filter, run the engine till you reach operating temperature. drain again, and change filter.
it deeply cleans the engine if done right. it gets rid of the oil sludge and burnt oil build up in engine. sea foam in the other hand, cleans valves, the tip of the pistons, and the throttle body.
Sam, Others have commented in the other Project Farm videos recommending this approach. I hope to try this approach in a future video! Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
sam that was before they invented detergent oil and it only was to remove sludge in the lower half of the engine and oil holes not the cylinders ....
Sam, I have seen that done in the Philippines. It works.
The kerosene would wash out the lead from the fuel.
Why don't you use a spray bottle, it would be a lot easier to put smaller doses so it doesn't stall
Semi-Deep Thinker, I agree that a spray bottle would have been a better option. I buy most of the products I test online. I've since ordered spray cans. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
Keep up the good work. It's all very interesting and gets you thinking.
Thank you
I love your channel, love your product testing
Thank You
When using a compression tester, you're supposed to have the throttle opened 100% if you don't believe me go to a parts store and read the instructions on the package
Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
Yup, the throttle body must be at max potential.
Is that with the engine off?
GHOSTGXZ lol
GHOSTGXZ yeah.
I vote for water.
Ivan Man, Thank you for voting! Also, thanks for watching the video and for commenting!
for what it's worth, ive done water in my ford ranger after it was fully hot. Seemed to run MUCH better after. Per watching your other videos, did the marvel mystery oil :) thanks for this channel, much more scientific than most forums and i really appreciate it.
this is a great video with lots of knowledge as are the rest of your videos. this is the stuff farm kids always learned along with common sense while working around machines. keep up the good work.
Robert, Thank you very much for the encouraging comments! I'm trying to pass along this knowledge to my children. Thanks for watching the video!
Project Farm what I learn from you gets passed on to my son as well. thanks.
Another great video. I'm very excited to see the results from water as well.
TCPUDPATM PORTS, Thank you for the encouraging comments and for watching the video!!
Do your neighbours like you ?
:D
btw that gauge doesn't measure compression it measures cylinder pressure. the two are similar but not the same. compression is a measurement of volume while cylinder pressure is the measurement of pressure the piston creates as it rises.
Konner, Great point! Thanks for watching the video and for commenting!
Project Farm just thought I'd let you know either way great video keep up the great work.
konner kramer good point smartarse
Project Farm great video, no blabbing on and straight to the point, nice work man!
The gauge does not measure cylinder pressure because the cylinder does not hold any pressure. Its called a compression gauge because it measures the compression pressure created by the piston and piston compression rings as it compresses the air taken in by the piston and forced upward towards the engine head there for calling it a compression test. So in other words the compression gauge measures the compression pressure created by the piston and piston rings.
Absolutely wonderful video keep up the great work! I vote for Seafoam.
James, Thank you for the encouraging comments regarding the video work! Also, thanks for voting!
Love the videos, everything you learn helps a bit.
Thank you
I'm curious about something, I'm not trying to troll and I am by no means any kind of expert, but wouldn't removing material from the combutsion chamber LOWER compression?
Chauncey, Great question! Yes, it would lower compression assuming there was no improvement to rings and valves getting cleaned and sealing better. I believe the seafoam helped with that. Thanks for watching the video and for commenting!
Yeah man, thanks for answering my question. Makes sense.
he's pulling harder post cleaning. listen to the difference.
what the heck maybe he ate his wheaties before pulling the string
Been watching the seafoam videos on your channel. Subscribed :) Can't wait to see the water tests. I've heard about doing this too.

You're about the only honest person on there everybody else is so full of crap but you do everything unique on a Time basis before and after please keep the videos up I love seating honesty
Thank you!
After I used seafoam on my engine it fixed my cracked head gasket, cracked engine block, slipping clutch, and made my car sound smoother and it also fixed my a thrown rod and gave me an additional 50 hp. car mechanics and oil changes are just a conspiracy by oil companys to sell filters and a liquid that basically last years. seafoam will fix anything...
You mean, oil is not really needed? Gotta go to the beach where seefoam is free!
Seafoam fixed my marriage!
Seafoam can fix anything but a broken heart.
He is so genuine.
Thank you for posting your videos. I learned a lot and have used your methods and it did work for me👍
You are welcome! Glad to hear!
Please keep making videos i will watch as many as you make great job 👍
Thank you, I will!
I love sea foam! Thanks for the test! Keep it up 👍👍
Thank you!
This has me so excited for my car's seafoaming. Thanks for the video! :)

Great video!! Ive used seafoam many times. Its a great product!
Todd, Thank you very much for the encouraging word about the video! Thank you for watching the video and commenting!
love the videos !! I enjoy watching the results thanks
Chris, Thanks for watching the video and for commenting! Many more videos on the way. Which do you think will do a superior job cleaning carbon?...water or Seafoam?
I'd have to say the seafoam. I've seen results from the steam and would have to believe the naphtha in the seafoam is what's doing most of the cleaning but it's also "steam" cleaning as well
lot,s of good information !! keep them coming; much appreciated,PATRICK.P
Thank you!
It may have only been a low boost at repeated cranking, but that compression boost at initial crank should make starting a *_lot_* easier. Great video!
Thanks! Thanks for the feedback.
great Video.. keep em coming
Scott, More videos on the way. I've been working on the next video all day running a test using water. Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
Love this real world testing !!!!!!! Would love more cuz we all have a need for something that truly clean!!!!
Thank you! Thanks for the suggestion.
What I REALLY like is the laid back music on this video!
Thanks for the feedback.
Hey when you put it directly into the carburetor into the intake into the head whichever try using a spray bottle or maybe one of those small solvent bottles where you squeeze it it squirts it out of the nozzle you know what to put too much liquid in there to hydrolock and bend the rod and thanks for the great video
Love your show.
You are a UA-cam national treasure. We are lucky to have you!
Thanks!
It started a boat that sit for 7 years had weeds growing out of it but seafoam saved the day!!!!! Awesome products!!!
Thanks for the feedback.
Great series!
Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
I’m glad it helped compression. I’m thinking about doing this on my leaf blower and my truck
Thanks for sharing.
I'm watching this 7 years later and its interesting to see how he's changed and improved. Just like so many other things, being a good UA-camr is a skill that can be practiced. I look forward to many more years of Project Farm.
Thanks!
yes I like the video is pretty impressive keep up the good work I need to get on 72 Mopar the whole wiring system thank you

Great test
tommy facekicker, Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
I purchased a 2008 scion xb few months ago, 193,000 miles transmission fluid never been changed going to use for transmission soon, put in crank case cleaned it heck out of it...had to change my oil (yes changed my own oil) YAY and filter....going to to another transmission change but use seafoam first in it and drive for a while... I love SeaFoam...
Thanks for sharing.
I think the reason for the better compression maybe down to the rings being decoked or valve seats being cleaned up. what would have been even better is if you had done a test after running it and before you had added it straight to the combustion chamber. good vids keep them going!
Mike, Yes, agree with you. Rings decoked and valve seats cleaned up. Thank you for watching the video and commenting!
your very detailed and thorough
Thanks!
It's hard to get an accurate compression reading in some small four stroke engines especially horizontal shaft engines because all of the horizontal shaft engines I've torn down had an automatic decompression system on the camshaft which is obviously so it's easier to pull the engine over with the rope. Seafoam did do a great job at cleaning and even increasing the compression slightly in your engine. That's awesome that you've had that edger for 25+ years and it still runs like a champ. Good old Briggs and Stratton engines will run forever if you take care of them.
All great points.
this my favorite channel love the videos
Christopher, Thank you for the encouraging comments regarding the channel. I'll continue to work hard at creating good videos! Thanks for commenting and hope you enjoy the weekend!
about to seafoam my 1989 Toyota pickup today after you Ranger video. Good stuff man
Maxwell, Those Toyota trucks last forever! Did you experience any improvements? Thanks for watching the video and commenting!
Yes sir!
You could feel the whole truck idle before hand. Now? Smooth as silk. The low end torque had a half second delay when you'd mash the gas, now I can use my big toe on the pedal and it picks up just great.
After the hot soak the smoke just poured out. I must have left a good half mile path through my neighborhood getting to the highway to really open it up.
When starting it the engine had to crank about 3 times before it'd start up, now on the first turn over it's running.
I haven't even run through the oil and gas yet, just put em in an hour ago, did the intake wash out at the same time. Immediate results.
love the video can wait for the next one
Ras Black, Thanks for watching the video and for commenting! Do you think water will outperform Seafoam?
well i believe the seafoam uses a detergent to clean the carbon while the water steam cleans which i think mihgt be better but not used in todays time becuz if you dont kwy the rpm high or spray the water to fast hydrolocking will happen and most will blown motor becuz of these mistakes and since the seafoam is petrol based is safe for people who arent as exp
Compression in a motor tends to build as the engine experiences more revolutions until the presser exceeds the "containment" pressure of the valves/piston rings. I believe the reason for the high disparity between your before and after results for the first several pulls was perhaps due to a more "exuberant" pull after seafoam. I do believe the final pull numbers though, and a 5% increase in compression is nothing to sneer at! Nice video!
William Crowe, I wish these small motors had electric starters on them to remove any variance! Thank you for the encouraging comments regarding the video and thanks for commenting!
Seaform has been around for a while, I haven't tried it. I think I'll try Seaform after watching a couple of your videos. Although, I am a Lucas type of guy for the fuel. Yet, I'll get back with you concerning how well I feel Seaform works for my vehicles. By the way, going to put it in a car I haven't driven in a few months. 33rdCRS. :) Keep up the good works, Project Farm. What a name you have there. :)
In the old days we used 50/50 mix of water and auto trans fluid down the carb while engine up to temp and running.
The carbon would occasionally make it all the way out the tailpipe.
We use Seafoam to fog the internals of our 2 stroke snowmobiles before storing them for the summer. Added to the gas tank at near empty. Ride till warmed up. Store with a full tank of gas to prevent condensation in the tank.
Matthew, Thank you for watching the video and commenting!
Very well done.
