Progress
Sesman:
Thanks, Ted. Just don’t look too closely. Wish I’d taken time to dress down the die cast splatter and general casting debris, but I guess that would then look unnatural.
Pistons and block on today, then into the frame. Just what is the best way to remover carbon from valves?
Sesman:

On cars I used to put a valve in my drill then using an old Stanley Knife blade I would run it up & down as the valve rotated - I would finish off with the edge with some folded Wet & Dry paper being careful not to overdo it.

Wire brush in bench grinder is my favourite
Sesman:
Yes, I use a brass brush. But was wondering if there was a magical chemical method? As an experiment I tried a piston in the ultrasonic cleaner. Came up like new. I’ll try a valve too.
