I turned each piston to TDC and cleaned them with a a plastic scraper and a shop vac because I had to fly cut.
Its OK to clean them up a little

i sprayed mine with a little wd-40 and then scrubbed them lightly with a scotch bright pad,the non scratch one,not the regular ones.The non scratch pads are made of a plastic and work awesome at cleaning the deck surfaces too.

I clean mine with some acetone and a plastic sponge. Works great for cleaning old gasket off the heads and block too.
