seafoam + vacuum line = SMOKE!!!

Hey guys I just emptied like half a pint of seafoam in my TBI 305 through a vacuum like and man is she a smokin sun of a gun. How long is she going to smoke now?

I let it sit and idle after the fact them threw a couple revs in there and she is still smoking like crazy!

Also I poured the rest remaining 1/3-1/2 a bottle into my valve cover oil fill hole.
I just changes my oil like a week ago. i dont want to change it again!!?!?!

the smoke is normal , its burning that stuff off. change your oil , that stuff will probably thin it out . i dont think you should put it in your oil to begin with ..

It's fine. Run that stuff through your intake and it'll smoke like a banshee. Once you shut it off, then restart it, it'll puff some more. It'll go away after a few hours or less. No problems at all.
You put the bottle into your crank case, so after a few hundred klicks you should flush that out.
