I just did this treatment to my '95 yesterday afternoon. I used about half a can and sucked it into the brake booster line by taping a smaller line to it, working the trottle by hand, balancing the metal can on the intake manifold and slowly feeding the hose into the liquid. After I slowly fed the amount in, I shut the engine off (it had already started to smoke).
After an hour, I restarted the engine with the brake booster reattached and quickly left my neighborhood. You'd have thought I was James Bond, with the smoke screen I left behind. I live pretty close to a freeway, so I was able to get on and wring the engine out to redline several times. I ended up driving it for about 10 miles at varying RPM and it stopped smoking at some point along the way.
I also put the other half of the can into the engine oil and another can in the almost full gas tank.
I haven't driven it yet today, but I just want to put enough miles on it to get most of the fuel drawn through before refilling, and will also change the oil at that point.
Every indication is that I cleaned quite a bit of gunk out of the top end. I'll keep you posted on my results as the rest of this project proceeds.
As mentioned before, if you do this, read up on it first and be prepared for one heck of a smoke show. I mean epic. I wish I had taken pictures.
