What is the way to remove carbon buildup on pistons/under old rings?

Thanks Gary

we used to set pistons in water high enough to cover ring grooves.then dump a bottle ofdihwashing soap and let them soak overnight.

I have a cleaner tool by lisle like others have described and found that breaking an old ring in half and sharpening it on the grinder to be better for the piston and my disposition. If you spray a little carb cleaner in the groove helps. There is probably a good groove cleaner on the market but the lisle soured me on them. Just my pennies worth. Fred

There is a tool for that. They work great,but one thing to remeber is don't dig in too much!! Some pistons you could probably cut in half with it with out really putting too much effort into it.

They have a tool for that I beleive called a Ring Lan cleaner, you run it around the piston with the knotch in the grove. You could also use a broken ring carfuly if that is all you had. You can use a fine wire brush on the top of the piston being careful not to round the edges ot hit the top ring lan. Mark H.
