Engine condition

[TireFryer]

I pulled my driver side head off tonight. This is what I see. Normal amounts of carbon, the factory crosshatching is still there with no vertical scoring. There is also no lip at the top of the cylinders that my finger can feel. What’s a good way to get all the crap off of the deck of the block? Those green abrasive pads? Razor blade? Thanks!

NO abrasive pads!
Razor blade, a shop vac.

Fill the cylinder with shop rags too.

As you work your way across the deck raise the piston to TDC to keep from scratching to bore and keep most debris out of the cylinder.

This is the best scraper I have found. Cummins approved.
