Sea Foam is a gas and oil additive that is said to clean carbon (when used in gas) and varnish when used in oil. Some owners seem to find it helpful with tappet chatter, which is a problem with the v8s.

Possibly this is old hat to you, but one of the better tips I got here was, in the event of the dreaded tappet tango, to overfill the oil by a pint or more. Made a vast difference in my car.


I posted a reply on this but it didn't take. What I said was that awakening engines that slumbered for 28 years is new to me and I need all the help I can get. My engine does have intermittent tappet noise so I'll pick up a can of this too

My thanks to Randy, JW, Owen and you, Pat for all the help.

I'm using the oil bath air cleaner, by the way - cleaned, blown dry and sitting in fresh oil.
