Maybe this will help someone, dunno..
I recently struggled to clean a set of coked up pistons. Soaked in Berrymans for few days, lots of picking and brushing. It was alot of work. That was a month ago.
Today, I went to put some small parts in my Berrymans basket....and I found another piston I put in there over a month ago (maybe longer). Now I remember why- I had a very good condition piston, but extremely coked up. I wanted to test leaving it in longer...I forgot about it!!!
I Took it out today when I found it...I was amazed how the carbon melted off. All I had to do was brush with a nylon brush for a few seconds, rinse and COMPLETELY clean including ring grooves, and oil grooves. No damage to the material.
Wish I did This originally....I hear this version of Berrymans is not that potent. It works, but the soak needed is longer obviously.
