Default car running with out o2 sensor questions..

the engine i have in my car was running without an o2 sensor for a while and its full of carbon deposits all over the exhaust ports.. more than normal.. im pretty sure the pistons are full of it too.. but i havent had a chance to open it up.. so far ive wirebrushed some of it off the exhaust ports.. my question is when i get the car running (with an o2 sensor) will it clean itself out or would i have to clean it some other way?? thanks

Try BG Products 44K one can per tankfull try to run two cans through 2 tankfulls back to back. Stuff does work wonders.
