After solving the water-in-oil problem(?), I decided to dump an entire can of Seafoam into the crankcase to help in flushing any fouled oil from the system. I am especially worried about the pushrods being plugged. Think I'll drive it for 25 miles+/- then do another oil change.

Anyone see any problems in doing this?

I don't like the idea of dumping an entire can in the crankcase. Too risky, IMO.

If it's already in there, just let it idle for a few minutes (Maybe 5-10?) then drain it. For a mild flush-while-you-drive, supposedly ATF is a good one. Add one quart and run it for a few hundred miles.

When my van was having 0 oil pressure--was gunked up really bad--20200114_184153.jpg
He added a few quarts to my oil and let it idle for around 10 mins. He said that was good enough. Hopefully you won't have any big chunks that'll knock loose and clog up some oil galleries or pushrods.
