Anyone in Canada tried this engine treatment out?
Where did you find it?
On what/where did you use it?
Just looking to do some preventative maintenance

I read about this product on the other board, and thought it sounded like pretty marvelous stuff, but I'd never heard of it before. Sounds like the ultimate liquid to remove anything. But where do you find it?

Post the vid when you're done! Would love to see the result, perhaps video tape the steps you take when putting seafoam into the engine... would be very helpfull! I dont want no chance of messing something up if I try..
Look forward to your results!

Was looking for SEAFOAM myself for awhile...Ended up
using VALVEMEDIC by GUNK....works wonders to...Have to
use more often on high mileage cars and 1st gen's which
seem to get gummed up more ....would recommend as the
next best thing to seafoam.....

Same type of treatment? Gas, oil, and engine?

Works best with Fuel Innector Cleaner.....Its petroleum
based and burns off as your engine works....When your
at about empty Add your preference of fuel injector cleaner to the gas tank as per directions...Then add the whole bottle
of Valve Medic to the engine oil....Doesn't matter whether your
going to follow up with an oil change or have already done one..its not adding anymore oil than you have....I swear you'll be
amazed within the 1st 5 mins you use it...I was quite impressed by the response/acceleration...it like putting VICKS under your nose....car breathes better...anyway give it a try...I don't think
canadian tire supplies it...you have to go to an auto parts supplier...its not that expensive...you'll have to repeat the procedure a few times if your car has high mileage like mine...I've only done it once ... due for another dose before I do an oil change this month....Aside....the engine should run for a least 10 mins or until it reaches optimum running temperature before adding this stuff......Mind you the only proper treatment of lifter tick is to have them looked at or replaced but for $5 this stuff really kicks....

i put seafoam in my car thover the weekend and it is great. it is simple to put in also.
When you pour it into the Intake (#2 in the pic), pour in enough to bog the engine down then let it come back up to normal idle. Do that 2-3 times. That will take about 1/3 of a can. In order to get it into the intake you must unplur the tube that goes from the intake to the brake booster.
Pour in about 1/3 of a can into the oil and change it out in about 200 miles
Then pour the last 1/3 of a can into a 1/2 tank of gas to clean the fuel injectors and the rest of the fuel system and removes any water that is in the fuel as well....
here is the seafoam video

Nopi has a website, you can order stuff to Canada off there, but you have to phone them. I bought stuff from them before. Good prices.
