• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

One more question for you guys? Does anyone know just what is used to clean and remove the carbon from the combustion chamber and the top of the pistons and piston ring grooves on the lycoming cylinder head and pistons, besides carb cleaner and a lot of elbow grease?

What do places like Gibson or others use to get these parts squeaky clean? Is it a hot tank like for automotive, or is their something one can use or spray on to loosen and remove the combustion chamber carbon, any thoughts would be much appreciated. Dave __________________
