i just recently rebuilt my da9. when i had the block apart i scrubbed the pistons in a parts washer and got all that carbon build up off. i imagine you could still do it with them being installed. just spray some carb cleaner and a brass wire brush. just be careful about getting shit in your water jacket.

did you use the brush on the parts washer or did you use a wire brush? the wire brush i used was about the size of a tooth brush

A small wire brush like you describe, I'm not worried about it. It's not going to effect how it runs.

as long as the skirts look good, and the rings are good then you dont have an issue. why clean something that is going to get dirty again as soon you start the motor?

andrew car is coming along well! you need to get off your ass, and make a few more updates! lol
