Welcome to the board im sure others will chime in later and do the same.

As far as the top of the pistons go i can tell you what i used to cleaned the top of them while they were in the car to get rid of all and any carbon. CRC Gasket Remover I used it the same way you would wood stripper, Put a nice layer of the stuff on it and let it sit for about 10 min and use a non marring gasket scraper to help get crud off. Clean and repeat, and soon you will be at a point were all you need is a rag to clean it off and it comes out very clean.

If i had taken my pistons out I would have thrown them in an ultrasonic cleaner with either just Distilled wattter or a combonation of distilled water and an aluminum safe cleaner at 10% and work my way up. But if you dont have an ultrasonic cleaner that I dont have a clue,
