It does work, at least to some  extent, and has been around for a long, long
time (longer than I have).   But the real "old time" mechanics didn't bother
with sissy garden sprayers,  they just slowly (!) poured from a cup right
into the  intake.

Personally, I would rather just go find a back road and run it at  full
output for awhile, which will also help clean out combustion  chamber
deposits (assuming it's now running cleanly).

I have noticed over the years replacing blown head gaskets on  Stags  and 
XJ6's how very cleanthepsiton tops are on the affected cylinders. I also  have 
some redex and they do recommend spraying it into the intake. Looks like  
strawberry soda pop.
