SEA-FOAM or SEAFOAM

i recently bought a 98 gt completely stocker, i mean bone stock. 50,000 original miles, the previous owner just did the regular fluid changes and all, should i run some seafoam through the engine? is it worth trying to clean out all the gook? how much is it and where can i get some? how often should i run it through?

personaly i wouldnt, i would just keep up with all the PM, if he has then it should be fine for a lot more miles anyhow, 50k miles isnt that many for a Ford engine

Seafoam won't hurt anything if you run it through the PCV and the gas tank. Just don't put it in the oil until right before you change it.

i've run it a few times. doesn't rattle for 3-4 weeks, then rattles again. if your gt did alot of sitting around, one of the best things you can do is just go drive it. it's hard on cars to sit around for long periods of time.
