SEAFOAM, wow this stuff works! Options

[presure2]

hey all, just got in from trying out "seafoam", gotta say this stuff is WILD. i been reading about it on mr2oc, and been wanting to try it, its supossed to work really well at removing carbon deposits and stuff from your engine, and its supossed to be a upper cylinder lubricant, ect. so, off to napa i went.
droped the $6.50 for bottle(i bought 2 one for the crankcase, one for the gas tank, yes you can use it in your gas take too!) and drove home.
according to the mr2 guys, they are using 1/3 of a bottle in the crankcase, right into the oil filler hole, and letting the other 2/3 of the bottle get sucked into the throttle body from one of the vac lines on top, both with the engine running.
so, i procedded to do it, 1/3 in the crankcase...then i checked the vac lines running into the t/b, pulled a hose off one running in and attached a long hose onto it, and slowly put the other end into the bottle, the engine bogs when you do it, so i reved it up a bit (to about 1500-2000rpm or so) till it sucked in the rest, and let it die.
noticed a bit of smoke as the bottle was just about empty..and let the car bog itsef down till it shut off.
then waited 15min....(finished up the install of my SAFC in the meantime ) and started it back up...took a couple seconds to get her running, then OMG it started SMOKING LIKE CRAZY!!!!! now, the mr2 guys said it would do just that, and so did the guy at napa so i was kinda expecting it, but WHOW!! i mean a TON of smoke.. i mean, it was smoking so bad, my neighbor jim came RUNNING outta his house yelling " MANNY, MANNY, WHATS WRONG WITH YOUR CAR!!!!!" hahaha...after about 5 min the smoking settled a little, so i drove around the block for 10-15 minutes, till it stoped smoking.
noticed right away that my idle had dropped about 100rpm from 850 or so to 750 or so (according to the SAFC) and a VERY noticable increase in throttle response.
they also say it helps your gas milage, tho i cant comment on that as i only just did it, but first impression is that this stuff is AWESOME! quieted up the valvetrain up a bit, definite increase in throttle response, and better milage..WOOT TWO THUMBS UP FOR SEAFOAM!!!
ohh BTW heres a link to the thread on mr2oc if you guys wanna read up on it abit...gotta be a member to read it, but your all members of that awesome site anyway, right?????

there aren't any leaks...no drops on the floor, and the engine is clean...I know its burning oil, because it smokes...
