I removed my head from my 74 850 and it has carbon build up on the head and top of the pistons. Is there any product to use or a good way to remove this. Also any one tell me a good jug and head paint to use.

I've used oven cleaner for years and never had that happen. /quote]
That's because you use it sensibly and don't soak the pistons in it! :lol:
Oven cleaner is sodium hydroxide (lye) and it will most definitely react with aluminum. Heat accelerates the action, but if applied cold and scraped after a half hour or less you should not have a problem. If you spray it on and stick it in an oven all bets are off!

The MSDS you posted is for a kitchen cleaner, which is a little different from an oven cleaner.
