With a lot of elbow grease the soot finally left of the pistons, took me a couple of hours but I think it's worth it as they're now nice and clean, and ready for what's coming next :-)

Stripped the head yesterday and found that all exhaust and two intake valves have been replaced, and that two exhaust valves still needs replacing, fortunately the valve seats seem to be OK.
Oh and there is a good one mm layer of soot in the exhaust runners, hard stuff I'll have to scrape out. I'm guessing it comes from the advanced cam timing and abusive life it's lived under my care :-)
