Hey i pulled my pistons and was wondering if i could use a wire brush to clean the top of the pistons and then use carb cleaner for the rest?
I just wanna know how to get off the big carbon buildups without messing up the top of the piston.....
Cleaning carbon off pistons?

Pitted piston procedure.
Gently clutch piston by the barrel.Walk outside.Aim for a window of a neighbor you hate.Throw as piston hard as possible.Run like a mofo back inside and start acting innocent.Turn on the intarwebs.Order new pistons.

Re: (white_ashes)
umm... duffman gave you a link... you said your piston was pitted.. themadscientist and s13love were both stating that if it's pitted, it's ruined...white_ashes wrote:no the top of the stock piston has a sort of grit to it....it was not smooth stock anyway but i was just wondering though!
