Piston Cleaning and Coating

Hi, I'm new here, long time poster on RL but sometimes you need a change. Will do a formal intro later with pics etc, etc as I know everyone likes that on forums. Meanwhile I need some advise about my pistons and I hope you kind folks will help me out.

These are KS (Alusil) pistons, standard spec, tolerance group 1.

1. What is the best/safest way to clean up the carbon off piston tops, above the top ring and the brown spots on the skirts?

2. Anyone have the specs for these pistons so I can check the measurements?

3. There are a few scratches on the skirts, some down to the aluminum. I've used Swain coating in the past, it's alusil compatible correct?

Any other advise appreciated -Mike
