This is what I need to do when removing the pistons from a Rover V8.
I can see what needs to be removed, but what should I use to do the job?

Scotchbrite, light emery, carb cleaner, not bother as the rings will do it, axe, spoon, shotgun, humor, harsh language. . . . . .
No really the carbon build up isn't really that tough, it should come off with a scrape. I used some scotchbrite soaked with something like thinners or for more extreme cases a rotary wire brush on a drill will get really stubborn bits off.
