I wouldn't be worried about it. Carb cleaner will take care of the carb, clean and reoil (LIGHTLY!) the K&N - both items that will help with why you Seafoamed in the first place.

if oil shot outta your carb you might wanna do a compression test to see if you have blow by... i had oil shoot outta my breather on my valve cover into my airfilter and that was what i had

thanks guys. i got the carb all cleaned up, how do you clean the filter though? is it the same as one in an mx bike? can i use the same cleaner and oil? if not what should i use? btw the truck is running even better now, ill have to say i was pretty worried when it wouldnt start and i had oil shooting up out of the carb. i got a lot of weird looks with the smoke too it was fun. gas mileage has a noticeable difference usually after an hour or so of driving around i could notice a drop but after 2 today it looks the same.
