[QUOTE="ecb223, post: 161492, member: 4018"] I am getting ready to replace the head gasket on my 1966 evinrude 18hp. I bought a parts motor today off craigslist and thought I'd take the head off it as practice for my good motor while I'm waiting on my gasket to come in. I noticed that there is alot of carbon build up on top of the pistons and the cylinders are fairley dirty as well. Should I clean this off and if so what should I use to clean it with? I thought about carb cleaner or brake cleaner. Will that hurt anything if I oil the cylinders up when done? Thanks Eric [/QUOTE]
