FYI Seafoam is OK as an alternative to the much better GM top engine cleaner...which can be found at any Gm dealership except those in California..
Seafoam is environmentally friendly but not as effective as the GM product...

Thanks guys! Actually, no, I'm not having any pinging problems, but keeping oil out of the intake is seeming to be impossible! I have it cut down to practicly nothing, with my 2 catch cans & breather filter, but a little may get in after a while so I am going to start doing a top end cleaning every once in a while. Maybe twice a year or so.
