TRICKLE is the key word here. I like to use a squirt bottle. Steam works really well for cleaning cylinders - if you've ever looked at an engine that's had a head gasket leaking coolant into one of the cylinders, it's amazing how clean that one cylinder can be. Just remember that water is not compressible, so too much can hydrolock your engine and make really bad things happen.
