Alot of people will bash seafoam, i myself have had good luck with it. i dont pour it in the oil or gas, just do the induction. Unhook your pvc and let it suck it in from the can... the lincoln i have had a small problem with rough idle and a little pinging and seafoam fixed it. I did the seafoam treatment and so far it hasnt come back.

1. Make sure your engine is warm
2. have a buddy start your truck
3.unhook pvc
4. let the pvc suck the seafoam slowly and have buddy keep the revs up so truck wont die.
5. after about a 1/2 a can kill truck and let it sit for 15-20 mins.
6. Start truck and let er smoke for a few minutes while reving the motor
7. Drive the hell out of it for a few miles

Let us know if it helped

^^^^^^^^^^^ What he said is how you do it. My brother used it on his 98 GMC with 155K miles two and a half years ago and the thing still runs perfect. Fixed a ping or lifter clatter and really helped with compression and performance on an older engine. I am sure it may not be for everyone but it worked for him.
