I just removed my old head from my 57 235 and will be installing a rebuilt head from a 61. Any way there is carbon build up on the pistons is there a good method on how to remove this carbon build up.

Depending on how thick it is, I just used a wire brush in a drill to clean the piston tops one time. Kept a shopvac handy too.
