Thats what i meant it might break down the deposits around rings and open up more holes for oil to go through

This guy originally did a DIY writeup on how to seafoam a motor...comes back 2 years later and edits his post saying it ruined his motor.

I had a 130k mile healthy D15B2, I ran 1/3 bottle through the brake booster. A month later, the car burned a ton of oil and smoked blue like no other. Ended up re-ringing it and fixed the problem

Seafoam is an excellent cleaning product. It does not damage the engine, it simply reveals internal engine faults that are hidden by sludge and other build up that is typically found in a poor maintained engine. There is absolutely no way it will damage oil control rings. Period.
