Injecting water into the intake will certainly break carbon loose. Rarely you find you get a piece stuck under an exhaust valve and require the head to be pulled, the hot carbon sticking to the seat.

I have an M with no thermostat that I run all winter with a feed sack over the grill. Still can't get it hot.

As with anything, just don't overdo it, like go in for lunch while it is running.

I would always take the advice of an old guy you can go back and see face to face rather than on a board like this when you have some advice-givers guessing about equipment they don't own.

I'm not knocking anybody in particular, but occasionally there'll be advice given that is suspect. I think people are more likely to give unfounded advice when they know they'll never be confronted.
