Ever wonder where the phrase "blowing smoke up your ***" came from?

Blowing smoke...
I've heard of spraying water into the intake to boost the squeeze in the holes (while you're spraying the water), and break loose deposits, but never seen any before and after shots showing effectiveness - or even video showing what comes out of the exhaust.

Might be interesting to try it and see, with a cam recording the exhaust.

Anybody tried water spray? See anything?
