brake cleaner works awesome. I just put heads on my shortblock last week, but before I did, I attempted to use scotch bright pads alone--which sucked. I then used a shop rag soaked in brake cleaner and it took the carbon off like it wasn't even there.

Yeah I need something stronger than brake cleaner/WD 40 or tougher than a scotch brite pad. it cleaned up the pistons some but some of that stuff is caked on top.

harbor freight is the cheapest place to get them discs but be carful not to drind on it to long or u will take away some metal which will EF your heads up. we use a wire brush on a air tool and lightly remove the carbon, it takes like 5 mins or so then wipe every off and blow off with air nozzle
