you put it in your gas, which basically was stripping the oil from the rotor housings, which is why you went boom.
The method here is to hook a hose up to the nipples on the LIM, put the other end in the bottle of seafoam/cleaner. then go in the car, hold the gas peddle to the floor (built in fuel cut in the rx8) and crank for 10 seconds. do that for each of the housings. let soak for at least an hour. do the same process with some two stroke after, then start it back up. be prepared for a lot of smoke as the seafoam and two stroke burns off. I honestly don't know how much this really works though, IMO the water is better...
