Slowly rotate the motor, coat the cylinder walls with oil, and then rotate some more. All the junk will hang up in the oil on the cylider walls and you can clean it out.

I've got a question guys..
I just started cleaning my pistons.. I've got one looking verrrrry nice.. Anyway, my pops is helping me on the H/C swap and he asked why I was doing that when they are just going to be dirty again in 6 months..
So.. now I have a very nice #2 piston and the rest are "stock" dirty..
I don't mind cleaning the other 7, but my question is.. would it cause any problems to just put it back together with 7 dirty pistons and 1 clean piston?
