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?

While you are in there,do clean what will easily come off. I had a motor sitting around. When I went to install it, it would not turn completely around. It was loose carbon that had fallen down causing the piston to bind at the head.
