plugged oil galleries
 

When my 05 mustang gt engine blew at 103,000 klms. Part of the repairs was to clean out the oil galleries. I persoally befeive they are defective. Otherwise why would it break the rockers and wreck the cam because its not getting oil. Ford is hiding a problem. Anyone else had this problem. Im the original owner and Im 68 yrs old I dont go hot rodding around

I have not heard of such problems. I will keep my ears open though

Can't say I have heard that one before either. That's rough having an engine go at only 103k.

Hey, was that a new car or used? How long you owned it, because that's the first I've heard of anything like that. Curious. Maybe not hot-rodding around was the problem - maybe you shoulda bought a sixer instead of a GT?

Wondering the samething.First time i've read,or even heard of this.

try seafoam every 15000 kms

Here lots of good things about seafoam across the interweb on most mustang forums!:tup

I don't want to sound stupid or anything, but like 1low has said, I've heard that product mentioned before but not really sure what it does or how it does it? Anyone wanna give me a quick Seafoam 101 ??

Seafoam is a petroleum product designed to stabilize fuel however it also dissolves varnish and sludge from your crankcase and dissolves carbon from intakes and exhaust valves... I thought it was all hype til I tried it... Now I buy it by the gallon... If you have a high mileage vehicle try a pint.... Seeing and sotp feeling is believing...

I think i'm gonna give it a shot come spring.:tup
Where can you pick some up?

Seafoam....
 

I have been getting it at part source

^^^ x 2. Never heard of it before but I'm gonna try it!

Cool.Gonna get some when for when the GT comes out in spring.

I leave it in the crankcase for about 1000 k before scheduled oil change to dissolve sludge and varnish but it has never been done before you may want to do it twice so it doesnt comprise the filter due to loosened chunks of crap... And when sucking it into a vacuum line the engine will want to stall so rev the motor til you see the massive smokeshow that will inevitably come from the tailpipe then shut it off.... Leave it for about half an hour then take er out for a high revving spin to get all the crap you just dissolved ... When you do the vacuum line be sure to have the engine warm so the carbon is more likely to dissolve... It will smooth out idle cleans all inside oil passages... If its an older engine you will notice a difference
