Thus far, head and cylinders seem to be in great condition, passing the non-scientific thumbnail test and general look-over for gross signs of damage...usual carbon and such on the crowns and valves, but the camshaft lobes/head surfaces, cylinder walls and pistons look good, with (hopefully) a clean up, valve lapping, hone and re-ring in order...

Need to clean the piston crowns...carbon deposits are probably per normal, and want to do this as gently as possible. I have used oven cleaner for oily dirt/deposits on cases and haven't experienced any pitting or damage on softer surfaces....was also thinking about an acetone bath followed by ultrasonic with Simple Green?? Thoughts??
