Hi all. Doing head swap and there's a lot of gunk and grit that has fallen on the pistons and is sitting in the ring lands. Shop vac isn't getting it all. Any of you have an idea/technique for cleaning those out before I start moving the motor?

Thanks!

squirt a lot of wd40 and vacuum, wd40 and low pressure air, wd40 and vacuum, wd40 and low pressure air... All while raised to the top on each cylinder...

after cleaning as above or any other method , round the edge of the piston with a magnet to pickup any metal debris to add mind peace , beware of not scratching with the magnet itself, nothing to loose.

I agree with this method, I have used it several times before.
