Question about using water injection to clean valves 900

posted by  someone claiming to be rwreagan on  Fri Apr 25 01:20 CST 2003 [RELATED]

The thread on April 22 about 960 valves included some discussion about injecting water via a vacuum line on the throttle body to clean carbon deposits. Sped mentioned a technique of routing the windshield washer hose into the throttle body to inject at highway speeds.

My question is: If the steam is blowing through the exhaust during this technique, is there a possibliity of damaging the Oxygen sensor? My mechanic once mentioned this possibility when a head gasket blows and antifreeze goes thru. Would this also apply to plain water?
