Why are my Pistons so clean?

A few weeks ago a mechanic thought I had internal engine problems, turned out to be a leaking exhaust manifold gasket. He stuck a camera into the spark plug hole to take a look at my pistons and he couldn't believe how clean they were. There was no carbon build up expect for very very minimal. Is it because of nitrous?
