Well I used the "easy off" about 3 - 20 minute lite treatments and bam!! clean as a whistle did not appear to eat the pistons at all .. even got a bit of overspray on my new oil coooler (also aluminum) and did not see that right away and it did not eat anything or leave anything like a spray pattern.. then again i used a wet sponge scrubby and clean and dried between treatment and then really cleaned and dried with a touch of brake cleaner the piston tops.. never sprayed directly into the cylinder walls and kept each piston i was cleaning at tdc.. Just thought i would put in the results for the next 914 chef..
