Hopefully it won't be that serious. Did the car come with any kind of warantee?

:lol: Yeh ill def take donations. He was saying worst case id either have to replace the block or possibly get a stroker kit. lol. If i do replace the block i think id go with a 99+ cobra engine. Prolly not the 03-04 cuz i got nearly no money. But if it needs replaced might as well do it right the first time.

im pretty sure 96-98 motors are better tha 99-01.

well from what i can remember the 99+ came with better heads and more aggressive cams. I think....don't quote me on that. But i have heard they are better. ill have to do more research on that later if it really comes down to it. :dunno:

 

[19mustang95]

i heard the 96-98 respond better to bolt-ons...make over 300RWHP on bolt-ons pretty easy.if i was you, i would forge out your current motor and get some 03/04 heads.

let the car suck up some more seafoam, once it starts smoking a little bit... turn the car off for about 10-15 minutes start it back up and see if anything changes

Man sorry to hear that. Try that though because I have a feeling that will work out some of the crap. And it cant hurt if the car barely runs and you do need a new block ya know? Keep us posted man.

Ive already run 2 cans of seafoam thru it. I doubt running another will change the fact there is something wrong internally.

 

[TxCobrA98]

i have a can of seafoam sitting in my garage that was waiting to go in this weekend.. guess where that seafoam is now going.. yep, the trash...

sorry to hear about your experiences with seafoam.. there's no way i could afford what you are about to do so ill just stick with not using it..

 

[95KBGT]

i have used seafoam on numerous occasions and have never heard for experienced this problem. The biggest thing when running the seafoam thru is to keep it at low RPM's i NEVER take it about 3,000RPM.

Trey dont throw it away if you dont want it i will take it lol

 

[TxCobrA98]

you should come out to rockwall and do it for me then... i wont hold you liable for any damage, im just afraid to do it myself.. i don't want something like this to happen.

the ratio of people that have done it successfully to peole that have messed somethin else up is vast....actually this is the first time i have read anywhere that people had problems with it.

Yeh i would have to agree with u. Ive done shitloads of research looking for ppl that have similar experiences with seafoam and have found very few that have had bad things happen. i would say 95% of the time seafoam works and ppl love it. I fell into the 5% that things happen to. Im not pissed and im not saying seafoam was the complete cause of this horrible problem just that it didn't become apparent until i used it.

 

[4point6GT]

so it fucked up ur engine 4 good ?

 

[VertTireSmoke]

so it fucked up ur engine 4 good ?

not sure. They have to pull the engine out to see what the hell is fucked up. They couldn't find anything up top. It looks like the seafoam washed a lot of the carbon down into the bottom of the engine possibly fucking up a valve....or a connecting rod....or a piston....or bearings....lol. They have a lot of ideas what it could be and none of which i like cuz they will all make me go broke.

 

[TxCobrA98]

well i hope you get it figured out soon man and hopefully it doesn't cause you to go broke..

i may still end up doing it though. i need that article that someone posted up from stangnet i think it was so i can do it right the first time.

good luck to you man.
