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

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?

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...
