Mark I've seen this work well on engines just before a rebuild. We used a spray bottle of water. It will clean the carbon. The water won't compress and beats the carbon into submisson, I think in the 70's Chrysler put come form of water injection on some cars. We have also changed sparkplug wires around to make it backfire for a reverse flush of the carb. These are not suggestions, just things I have seen and sometimes work. I've also seen and old mechanic put baby powder in the intake of a running engine to seat the rings, not so sure about that one. I am sure walnut hulls (ground) will clean turbine blades.
Don't try this at home, it will be messy and may have unexpected results !
