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?

Put it back together ... fire it up and pour a cup of water slowly down the intake(s) at 2000 RPM .....
or in your case Fine wine! |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Water down the intake? How about a small brass wire wheel? Will that work OK? I don't want to damage the top of the piston. Is that even possible? |

Hey Elliot....How many miles on that motor? I had about 8k on mine, and had some nasty carbon, but my plugs have always read a nice mixture. How much carbon and how fast the build up is natural? |
