I wouldn't use cold water on a very warm engine, as things crack when shocked.
I was taught this method in auto shop class and a spray was used during fast idle on a slightly warm engine until there was stalling. instructed to leave overnight and then make sure nothing or no-one was standing behind the car when it was restarted the next day! The instructor was an old time mechanic with old time ideas, but they worked.
