Subject:Requested suggestions - cleaning crud (carbon deposits) from valves / ports in cylinder head
From:Herr Wibo Fichten
Date:Mon, 29 Mar 2004 23:47:41 -0400

Hi fellow Vanagonians,

I'm doing the cylinder heads and have removed the valves.

Lots of brownish carbon on exhaust valves / ports and some black creosote
type stuff on the very botom flange part of the intake valves, but no so
much on ports.

Any suggestion on a quick chemical clean-up or is this necessarily a labour
intensive scraping job?
