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?

My concern with any type of wire wheel is all my wire wheels get smaller with time and use, and eventually there are no wire pieces left.....so they go somewhere, and you might get one lodged into the side of the piston, just laying on top of a ring, and you won't see it.
Then you know what it might do... Use water or rags and cleaner. |
