I've been reading about seafoam. My rover has 307,000 kms (just under 145,000 miles) on it. It seems to run just fine. Do u use seafoam when u have a problem, or do u use it regular like to keep probs away? Or both? My engine is pretty oilly on the outside, but aren't most L.R's??? - hee, hee, hee.
I've heard that putting a high detergent cleaner in a dirty, hi-mile engine will cause more leaks! The carbon helps to keep the oil inside!
A local British chap suggested putting some diesel in the crankcase to help with sticky valves. I've heard of using ATF and even tried it in my I-6 L. Cruiser pickup (crankcase and down the carb) that had sat for over 5 years before I bought it. I covered the neighborhood with a cloud of white smoke when I did, and it's run great ever since. My buddys dad who is Dutch has always put a litre/quart or two of diesel in the gas tank of his gas engines every few fillups and has never had any problems.
Whats your thots?????
