seafoam VIDEO!
This is a video of me seafoaming my '87 Nissan Pathfinder 3.0 v6 with 231K miles. I know its not a ford but the sea foaming job is relevant to our trucks. It made a huge difference in how it runs and idles. It also improved fuel economy by like 3 mpg. I think im gonna do it to my truck in the near future.

can doing it as often as ever 2 months cause some type of premature wear to seals or something? not saying that its happened, but seafoam is some potent stuff. but yeah, i do it every year or so on my cars and i think it works great.

ah, we used to do this with our VWs. Dribble diesel fuel down the carb while its pegged open.
Made lots of smoke. We thought it cleaned the carbon out.
Not sure if it actually did much good.
Using Marvel Mystery oil in the gas every few tanks probably did the same thing. I used to use that stuff all the time. My engines always ran nice & got good MPGs.

I would like to see proof that it works. Its not in the engine long enough to penetrate and dissolve anything. Carbon is pretty damn hard. To boot if you use good fuel and good oil, i dont think carbon build up is an issue anyways.
I tore a 4.6l apart with 150k on it and it looked like brand new on the inside. no gunk, no build up. And i know the owner never used seafoam on it.
Regardless im not saying it doesnt work, i just find it hard to believe.
