LiftdT4R Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 If you have a dremel or angle grinder the wire wheel for those works pretty good as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LS1Inferno Posted July 21, 2009 Report Share Posted July 21, 2009 Quit complaining and put the motor back together :thumbsup: they make these little wire wheel type things that are like plastic with abrasive in them they have. http://base.google.com/base/a/4619337/D18223179295263528865 I use these to clean up cylinder heads and clean head gasket material off of alum blocks and the heads they work good and dont eat the aluminum unless you work it too hard/long I got mine for like 10 bucks so dont buy that kit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed .. must be running awful rich if the carbon build up is a problem.. if you can still read the numbers on the top of the piston I wouldn't get too excited about cleaning them up.. perhaps go down a main jet size though..

TurboBanshee420 Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 do not use a wire wheel!!! you will imbed steel shavings in the piston crown only to be released later by piston wash and score the walls after it works its way into the the skirt. as said above...don't worry about that shit, It will only return after a tank of fuel. Drop a jet size and re-tune. If it runs good then you should only have about a fingernail sized clean spot next to each transfer port. The rest SHOULD be black with carbon...its NORMAL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
banshee21 Posted July 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 I run 40:1 Klotz super techniplate. I couldnt read the numbers on the top of the pistons, I do need to bump down a couple sizes on the main. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
