Dunno if it did any good, I kinda botched it at first and only ended up with half a can or so ran through it. Was hoping this would cure some ping I've been experiencing, we shall see.

It's only an inch or two. What's the big deal?

Seafoam supposed to clean the chambers out to eliminate detonation?

Shouldnt you run seafoam through the engine and not the hatch?

Car had a malfunctioning PVC system for a long time, and sucked who knows how much oil in through the intake, I figured it was worth a shot since it could have carbon deposits creating hot spots.

Durr, that's how I wasted half a can.

I kinda want to try it, but not sure if it's snake oil or not

idk, when I worked at a Texaco we ran something similar to this on customer's cars, some didn't make much smoke, some would make a bunch. I ran some through my very mis-tuned (at the time) Dart and the black clouds it made probably showed up on radar. I might try another can on the 91 since I got it figured out. I imagine my truck needs it pretty bad since it carbon fouls it's plus in a matter of minutes.
