Well i decided to shove my pistons in the 'parts washer' earlier on, they got rid of all of the grime, but the majority of the carbon on the top still remained, but a bit of scotch bright has sorted it out, i've still got 1 more to do, but the other 3 are looking like new. If i manage to get hold of a camera i'll take a picture of them.

Does anyone know how long the pistons might remain in this condition once i manage to get the engine fired up for the first time?
