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.
