Carbon-licious

Fetch me my SCOTCH-BRITE PADS!!!!

Got some cleanin' to do. Fortunately looks like the pistons are undamaged by their Close Encounters of the Valve Kind. Definitely knocked some carbon loose though. I know, there are many Old Guy mechanics who say not to screw with the carbon, but I can't see how overheat-prone, detonation-creating deposits can be helpful in any way. Besides, this carbon is already "chunky."

I cleaned this up a lot, and called it quits for the day. I'm about 8 nice, leisurely hours into the job. I take my time.
