I had the Mahle 94 mm P&C pulled and replaced with 96mms
The pistons were cleaned with oven cleaner; now there are a few black carbon remaining. How should I proceed with removing them before looking for a new home ?

I have a gallon of Berrymans carb/parts cleaner that comes with a basket. Drop the pistons in one at a time and let them soak for a day or two, they'll come out and with a little scrubbing most of the junk should wash away.

X2 on the Barrymans soak, vs abrasive cleaning with a scrubbing pad.
