I never blow anything into a cylinder on purpose. I use heavy grease on the reamer when I do glowplugs. Most of the carbon comes out then.
Turning the engine over after reaming glow plug hole blows most of what the greasy reamer misses.

Turning the engine over after glow plug reaming could possibly suck in some carbon during the intake stroke with some of it landing on/ stuck to valve seat. Safest bet is DO NOT turn engine over and use grease on the reamer then vacuum the rest out.
