Try changing your oil if you haven't already. I add Lucas oil stabilizer to my oil. It helps avoid dry starts and keeps the upper end lubricated at all times.

Which one.....
Heavy duty or synthetic?

Just curious, Lucas don't tell you a heck of a lot about the differences between the two although I do like their stuff generally.

Did it smoke and behave normally during the treatment? Did you get the vacuum system sealed back up after the treatment? How old are the plugs? I did a treatment on a ranger once that ran worse afterward because the plugs were very badly worn and the SeaFoam cleaned off the carbon that was helping to close the gap.
