I seafoamed both my 22R's (carb)
no problems here. Not sure if it helped any....
and i dont see how you could blow a hole in the block from seafoam?
Also when you are adding it you only add it at a rate where the engine is still running. Which will feel painfully slow as the engine will really want to cut out. (putter putter)
Then you shut the engine off, let 'er chill for 5 minutes.. start back up and you will get a huge cloud of smoke, grey/white whatever. then it'll burn away and you're done.

like i said i dont know how much it helped. I didn't care to look through a plug hole to see a before and after of the amount of carbon buildup on the piston heads... I just did it becuase I've heard it works.. so wtf, its cheap why not give it a go =)
I also through some in with the oil.. and the gas tank. No noticeable difference in performance on the 4wd rig but it was running fine before.
the 2wd i figured it had to help clear out the carbon buildup from running rich for so many months.
