Sea Foam

I've got a 96 250 that I picked up about 9 months ago. The engine has almost 100K on it and I wanted to pick up some sea foam and flush out the engine. Does anybody know where I can pick some up? The last time I went searching for some, the parts guys stared at me and pointed me to the engine degreasers. Who carries this stuff?

Our O'Reilly's has had it as long as I have been buying the stuff, which isn't that long... maybe a year. New driver... that stuff does the trick

One thing to always remember - use a stop leak after an engine flush. The solvents in the flush dry out the seals in the engine, a quality stop leak (like Eagle) will keep the seals soft. I learned this the hard way on my Grand Marquis. The valve seals have a habit of needing replaced at 80K to 110K, mine only made it to 50K.
