Would you clean these pistons? Newb question...
They're 1000 miles old. The guys that assembled my motor and supposedly reworked my heads didn't put new guides in. So there's been a little oil in the combustion chambers. If you think I should clean them, how would you do it?
Thanks!

Sure, why not? If they're only 1000 miles old, it should't be caked on badly. Bring the piston being cleaned to TDC and wipe it down with a rag that has some brake cleaner on it. It shouldn't be a huge deal.
