I was considering putting some vortec heads on this motor. If I do, what can
I use to clean the pistons without hurting them while the head is off?
Thanks, Brian

Half and half mix kerosene and 30wt motor oil, down carb each spring, keeps
everything clean. Used this on farm and never had problem with carbon. I
have seen a few 87 350's with this problem in my shop and fixed all of them
with the above brew, cheaper then the store bought stuff. Not sure why the
87 models really had this problem.

Yes trans fluid makes a great cleaner. Use it to clean running diesel

Way back when, we used to pour a small amount of auto trans fluid down
the
throat of the carb. Might have been an old wife's tale but it sure
created a
large plume of blue smoke!
