LS1's really carbon up that bad ? 
My old small blocks never got that bad and they had a carbs. Did the water thing numerous times without any problems.
Seems to me there should be way to prevent it from getting that bad in the first place. That is unacceptable.

and now the new C6 motor has 10.9:1 compression... this is going to be a big problem as soon as these cars get alittle carbon build up.. BTW Ive seen bent exhaust valves with a chunk of carbon under the seat. people use to use water all the time in the 50's and sixties... some of that early technology will get these new motors into some serious issues..
also By FAA regulations all aircraft engines have scheduled maintenance which require a complete engine break down,at a specific amount of hours... and a sign off ..
