I don't necessarily like being grouped as a basher, because I am not.
I haven't been on here very long, but I have seen enough of your posts to know that you are almost the Joan of Arc of Seafoam. ;-}
If you want to spend $7 a pint for cutting oil, naptha and Isopropyl Alchol that is your right.
I know that your 5.7 has an issue with the PCV system and you are using the Seafoam to help dry your engine.
In reality, you would be better off just adding the alcohol without the Naptha if all you are wanting to do is absorb the moisture.
It is absolutely without question that Naptha is very volatile. It will eat plastic, rubber and dissolve many sealants.
It just puzzles me that Seafoam users might not consider that Seafoam is banking on the volatility of the Naptha will be offset by the additive package of the existing oil and the quantity of oil for damage not to occur. There is nothing in the Seafoam that neutralizes the volatility of the Naptha, so they are counting on the oil to resist it and evaporation to remove it.
I am in the opinion there are safer means to aid in cleaning the crankcase than using a product with Naptha, Isopropyl Alcohol and cutting oil.
To each his own.
