thanks, jon. i would have felt a little pushy to say again that
i already had the head removed.
so, with the head removed, what would be the best way to remove
the carbon from the tops of the pistons without doing grave
damge to them? i had used a razor-scraper before, but it left
little scratch marks in the tops of the pistons. is this too
much? how much is too much damage?
