Is it safe to use Sea Foam in the crank case?
A friend advised me not to? http://www.seafoamsales.com/sea-foam-spray.html |

I've used it on a few different car and the 914. I'm not sure I would use it on an old, tired engine because it can loosen a lot of stuff (supposedly) which might have become helpful deposits sealing leaks, etc. But it does work wonders on young engines and especially in more modern stuff. I have always done 1/2 a can in the intake system and half a can in the crankcase, but always just before an oil change. Then fresh oil afterwards. If you put it in the intake system, enjoy the smoke show!
