Howdy all,
I'm looking for a good way of cleaning the pistons and heads I just pulled off my engine. Apparently, it had been running VERRRRRRRRY rich, with some bad piston rings, because there is all kinds of crap and corruption in there. Some of it looks like carbon deposits and caked oil, but some seems to be just discoloration, like there's no depth to the crap; it's just a stain. I have already used Gunk degreaser, soaking in Seafoam, and Easy-Off. It helped a lot, but there is still a ton of work to do. I started scraping with a feeler gauge, but I'm worried about scratching the pistons, valves, heads, etc. Any suggestions? I'm more concerned with the crunchy stuff rather than the discoloration. I'll get some pictures if you think it'll help. Thanks. |
