In this video, I show you how to properly clean pistons and the engine deck using a wax string. This is a real trick that can literally save your engine from the destruction improperly cleaning can cause. As a bonus, I have how to clean a cylinder head in this video too but couldn’t fit it in the title. Enjoy!

What kind of wax string did you use?
Currently building my E36. Going to comment on every video that I watch until Quinn notices me. haha…glad these videos are still up.
Paint stripper (with dichlormethane) is best for carbon. I used for the throttle.
The gasket remover does say on the tube leave it for 5-10 minutes… and you had it running off the head so yeah that's why you wasted it. Also 2000 grit sandpaper is way to fine for applying a headgasket to it
I literally used a soft metal brush and my cordless moved pistons to top 10seconds each clean … wiped with a cloth and sprayed Q20/ WD40 .. and wiped again easy
If your pistons and cylinder look they way they do in the beginning of this video, they don't need cleaning; that's what they're supposed to look like!
Wast of time.
Misleading title and infos. Has nothing to do with cleaning carbon with the whole engine inside the car. It's a tear-down used engine that's already out of the engine.
Does anyone know what size the wax string is?
I put new pistons in my Toyota 1.8 I only put 2 of the 3 oil rings on the pistons , the spring ring and 1 thin ring , will it be ok ? Thanks
just found you ! great channel !
thanks! im going to do mine soon!
1mm string?
nice cleaning job but whats the underling issue?
where do you get the wax string??
I found legit streetcars channel by searching for piston cleaning. I have enjoyed many hours of LSc videos since then. Alex is straightforward and entertaining. He never gives up on nagging problems. I met him in person at an event in Gilberts, IL. He is as engaging and humorous in person as on his videos.
