After getting my heads rebuilt I am Finally getting around to putting my engine back together. Can anyone recommend a good (easy) way to clean the carbon deposits off the heads? Can this be done OK without removing the cylinders?

We use to de-carbonize using water while on a dyno (on running engines)
Pull the jugs off one at a time, stuff rags on the case opening and wheel them. You don't want to nick the tops of the cylinders. |
