Good morning

I have used Seafoam in thetank to clean the carbs bu has anyone used it to clean the crankcase and internal? they say uyou put it in the oil and riun for 200kms and then change the oil, your thoughts, I am more than a bit prudent about this one.

Thanks for the input!

 

I only use it in the gasoline tank in all my vehicles. I've read, in the auto forums, where folks have had success and failure.

The worse I've read is where old oil is loosened (which has acted as a sealant along gasket areas) where the side effect is an oil leak.

But maybe that is a good thing, as you have now found a potential gasket failure

 

I'm the same as you Dragon, very reluctant to put additives in the oil

Prefer frequent changes

 

That is what I think too, only reason Maybe try it is for the CCT to clean the reservoir...

 

I wouldn't put anything in the oil. Why do that? Personally, I'd save my money for a Rickard's red

 

I used too, not anymore though. It does a very good job of thinning your oil and an even better job of cleaning to the engine's detriment (I believe). I had one engine blow a headgasket within 100 miles of adding Seafoam to the crankcase and another one blow an upper intake manifold gasket within about 500 miles. Coincidence maybe, but that was enough for me. I keep the Seafoam to the fuel and run clean oil in my crankcase.

 

I used it once as directed on my 2 cycle line trimmer. Lasted about 10 minutes then the engine locked up. Joy. Not

 

Use a few oil changes with Diesel Oil Dragon as it has the highest detergent cleaning
package in it , I'd hold off putting seafoam in the crankcase

 

Thanks, i was really weray, will try the diesel, anything in dieel equals 20w50
