Actually water injection is the best. It steam cleans the combustion chamber. It isn't usually carbon deposits on the valve seats that causes the problem, the cabon deposits get hard and chip the seats.
If you could keep the engine running long enough the valves tend to reseat themselves.
If they are missing chunks of metal, then only remachining them will fix it.
