Running SEAFOAM?????????

Have any of you guys ever ran seafoam in your 8, would it hurt the apex seals, would it be good to help with the carbon deposits, or is there a possibilty of it harming the engine. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thankyou, I appreciate it. I know how to use it correctly, I've used it on all my previous cars, just never a rotary. Don't think I'll even bother with it, just redline every day to keep it cleaned out and call it good.

Its good for un-sticking the seals from their grooves.
If you have access to a compression tester, wait until you measure an actual drop in your compression numbers before you SeaFoam.
Otherwise, water is a good alternative.
