I want to seafoam my truck, but its a 91 4.9 with 241,000 miles and im scared its gonna loosen up some grit in the engine and start an oil leak. I am already leaking oil a little bit, and dont wana make it worse. Should i do it? Is it 1 can in brake booster vacuum and 1/2 in oil and 1/2 in gas?

1/3,1/3,1/3 can. You'd be suprised at how many pan & cover leaks require just snugging the bolts to spec.! https://www.f150forum.com/f33/how-se...-1991-a-31505/

The only problem is we cant find the oil leakes, its not too bad about 1 qt every 2.5 weeks, but we replaced valve cover and upper gaskets. I think i am gonna find somebody with a torque wrench and tighten up all bolts on pan and stuff to spec. I just got outta school for summer so i will prolly do seafoam this week and see what goes down...My truck already runs decent with 241,000 miles so i cant imagine it being a huge miracle, but maybe?
