^^^ jaw, doing seafoam is very easy....I used to do it every 15K miles...

say I have my oil change due in 100-200 miles, this is what I do....
when I have ~ 4-5 gallons in my gas tank, I put 1/2 a can of seafoam in the gas tank
I put a full can of seafoam in the oil crank case (yes, when you put the oil in)
pour the leftover half can in a cup
start the car and remove the vac line
have some hold the throttle steady at 2K rpm and do the sip sip slurp slurp method
easy on the sip sip as you dont want the car to die (if it dies, no issues though)
when the cup is over, turn the car off, attach the vac line back
wait 15 minutes
go for a drive and hit vtec in couple gears and couple times....

make sure you completely out of gas before filling her up....and fill her up all the way
do an oil change within 100-200 miles

done, done and done

PS: this is the sip sip slurp slurp method:
