by de-carb he means clean the tops of the pistons off (get the carbon off) so you don't have any buildup to make hot spots.

De-Carb means to de-carbonize the top of the piston by simply removing the carbon buildup.

i used a razor blade, worked very fast just bring each piston to top of stroke and scrape away, tape off the water jackets, very safe and effective way to do it, didnt take me but 20-30 min or so to do all 8
