in their instructions they say poor the last amount in the pcv and let the engine die.. wouldnt that cause hydrolock in our vehicles??

That is how SeaFoam is normally used when you read threads on here. You let the PCV suck it in and then let it sit. When you restart it's a smoke show. SeaFoam is safe to add to engine oil, so it won't hydrolock. I'm assuming the GM is the same way.

well thats just it, seafoam is NOT like GM top end cleaner as stated in your links. Seafoam is oil based and Top end cleaner is not. so it is different.. Also if you do the research, it is not ideal to add seafoam to your crankcase (oil) bc it will vastly thin the oil therefore inhibiting your oil to do its job like it is supposed to. (info available on Bitog)... i think you have hydrolocking a little different. from what i was told (now correct me if i am wrong) you do not allow seafoam to choke your motor off nor do you stick your pcv tube in the bottle bc it wont allow air to suck thru causing hydrolock. in your links those guys are inserting the tube into the cleaner fully and allowing the motor to choke off..
