i believe the carbon is coming from the head, i cleaned it this last time so i'll see if it will "reproduce" the carbon. the engine doesn't run, but every time i turn it over to try to start it, the carbon dislodges and gets all over the pistons. i think it is because the engine has over 230,000 miles on it and probably needs rebuilt if not taken down and thoroughly cleaned, but i want to hear it run first.
