Re: cleanin carbon off
I just throw the head in the dishwasher... Shhhhh don't tell my fiance! Since its aluminum it won't rust, just gotta stop it a couple of times mid cycle, and lightly scrub it to help break up the carbon deposits.

Greetings:
The Dishwasher Secret is out! Don't worry, we won't rat you out.
A plastic scaper can safely remove the big chunks. Be careful not to bead-blast a kink in the head-to-cylinder mating surface. Walnut shells or other soft media might be safer than sand or beads.
