Head Removal Question
I have my heads off for replacement. While they are off and it takes a while to clean the block do I need to oil the cylinder walls?
Also, does the carbon need to come off the tops of the pistons?

if the carbon is quite hard ... I'd leave it ... helps typically low compression.
fwiw ... most local CT race rules require flattops & min 70cc chambers (track techs do not cc the pistons during protest) ... most racers don't blow much oil but a little builds atop crowns ... usually, it's intentionally undisturbed during freshening.
