When Bob Tullius ran his Group 44 Jaguar team in the IMSA Camel GT

rolled his cars out of the transporter into the garage at the track
their first task was to clean the cars.

One of the reasons I really enjoyed working on race engines was the
total lack of accumulated crud.
The engines were for the most part opened up after only a few hours
of operation if only to set the valves, but occasionally to check
bearings and unfortunately all to often to determine a cause of
failure.
It was a pleasure not to have to decrud the internals as was
required when I worked on street engines.

The water is the excuse for an "Italian tune up", not the
reason. :-)
Others include "carbon on the valves" and the ever popular
"carbon on
the spark plugs".

One area where it does work is in clearing out crap from the
exhaust system. Although, these days, sparks, flames and general
filth issuing from your pipe (ahem) is less an excuse for levity
and more a reason for receiving tickets.
