if your having a running problem that is related to carbon buildup then you may need to but I would suggest just running a can of Honda Top Engine Cleaner through the intake and a can of fuel treatment.

take the cam, intake manifold and dizzy off and take it to one of those self car wash stations and pressure wash it.. or just do it at home if you have a pressure washer. Dont use soap, just water...

correct way, hot tank it. should only cost a couple of bucks.

if you want to do it yourself, get a can of break clean and go to town on it with a rag. But thats a fully stripped head. Stay away from gaskets, o-rings etc.
