Seefoaming and Engine

[rev500]

I am trying to nurse along a old engine that was apparently not taken care of by the original owner. It is the infamous Dodge 2.7 liter that is known for sludge build up and yes the main timing chain is starting to rattle. I want to try to clean it out using Seafoam. Has anyone done this? How long or how many miles do you run the engine with the seafoam in it before you drain it and put fresh oil in? Any pointers are welcome.

rev, do not even take that car to church tomorrow. NOTHING past idle! Too tired now to explain. I'll call you after church tomorrow if you like. Either post here or e-mail me directly in my profile. I went through this last fall with a friend of mine.

Snowfish. Thanks for taking the time to help me out. I have already signed up on the Intrepid website and am already getting additional advice. I will let you know how things work out.
