Thumbs up injector and combustion chamber cleaning

I was wondering what is everyone elses take on sea foam.

I was reading road rages sticky post on injector cleaners and I am pretty well convinced I should start using one and will probably go with redline's as road rage is using.

AS far as the sea foam, I have a 96 civic with 180k miles. The head gasket was replaced 2 yrs ago due to a pin hole that occured from over heating. (fan wire was severed)

Do you think running redline injector cleaner would clean up the combustion chamber or should I use sea foam or should I leave it as is? Or maybe just use redline to clean up the injectors but it won't do anything else.

Also I got my S in October and and it has 42k on it. What effects will redline have on it? What about cleaning out combustion chamber deposits on it?

at the moment road rage, and bitog forums, recommend fp60 for the fuel system.

fp60 was never officially in the oil journals. however, road rage swears by it. so does bitog forums. and that says a LOT.

where do you get fp60?

Who makes it?

Is it an injector cleaner like the redline?

I am guessing road rage switched to FP60?
