well rain, it also helps with predetonation if it gets bad.
don't use an abrasive pad that will scratch the surface, you'll do more harm than good. Automatic Transmission Fluid works well.

He says that he has the head off....so if you use this solvent to clean the pistons while they are still in the block is that going to be a problem?

Re: Carbon buildup on pistons (Spade)
it is fine if the motor is like, not assembled and has no oil in it. Else I would not let solvents get in the motor unless you were very careful.

ATF, after you use, drive around you city and give everyone a taste of burning carbon build-up. Cops might pull you over because of all the smoke, tell him/her to shut up!
