water treatment @ 80K ? need opions ?

Well I know how to do it and I have done it to my FC. But my FC only has 30K on it's engine. That lastest addition to the family is another 87 TII that is all original and bone stock. ( yes I'll be adding pics very soon ). Now the new addition has 83K on it, are there any concerns about doing this treatment to an engine that has probably never had this done before with that kinda mileage ?

Also did it to my buds 79 rx7 with a **** load of miles, it idles better and almost nears the redline now.

I do it on my FB every 20,000 miles or when I change the plugs. When I first bought the car with the original engine @ 90,000 miles it and it sometimes took a while to sart it in the morning, the first treatment made it start at any temp with three cranks max. I've started it in -30 degree weather and still took three cranks. Now it has 189,000 miles and its still got the original engine and runs like it did new. The water is just part of maintence to me...
