None I'm aware of. Can in the gas tank, 3/4 can in the crankcase, 1/4 (or more) though the intake.

I often wonder where all that carbon goes...

if it flakes off the pistons and valves...wouldn't it land in the cat? It's not like it's going to burn off...and if it remains in flakey form, I doubt it'll get to the other side of the cats...

Its going to be pretty fine after going through the combustion chamber.

And the cats get HOT (which is how they burn off emissions) so it would likely burn up any carbon as well.

Or some might not have to worry about that *cough*testpipes*cough.

LOL!

Well obviously the stuff is a little resistant to the whole combustion process or we wouldn't be using seafoam to get it out. That's why I question whether it will break down into small enough particles to get through the cats.

Test pipes...some of us aren't there yet! :-P
