Subject:      Requested suggestions -  cleaning crud (carbon deposits) from
              valves / ports in cylinder head

Hi fellow Vanagonians,

I'm doing the cylinder heads and have removed the valves.

Lots of brownish carbon on exhaust valves / ports and some black creosote type stuff on the very botom flange part of the intake valves, but no so much on ports.

Any suggestion on a quick chemical clean-up or is this necessarily a labour intensive scraping job?

Fichten
