So finally got the head on 1.0l 3 cylinder metro mostly off and I was surprised at the amount of the carbon sitting on the head of the #1 piston. Is there some official way to clean this off? I guess I'm worried about breaking it loose and having it slip down between the cylinder and piston wall and jacking up the piston rings. I appreciate your patience and support.

Think I'm going to go ahead and order a xfi cam while I'm at this. Might as well. I'll probably just disassemble and clean the lifters though.
