engine heating and smoking

[kingdisasterx]

my engine seems to have excessive heat and is retaining it and started smoking after a 30 mile ride or so. i had low oil so i put in more. however im still having trouble its still retaining an enormouse amount of heat and has a white smoke out of the exhaust. i did recently add seafoam to it. does that have anything to do with it?
HELP?!?!?!?!?

How much seafoam did you use?

How do you know it's overheating?

Seafoam will smoke like a bastard if you add a lot. They have videos on youtube demonstrating this.

What kind of Seafoam product you're using? I think they have a transmission cleaner don't they? Well, either way, i think some of their products aren't meant to be riden on, just turned through the components, then emptied, so maybe that is the case?

Seafoam "motor treatment" can be added to gas, oil, or pretty much anything else. Generally, if you add a lot you simply run the engine until it stops smoking.

seafoam calls for 1oz. per gallon
