Re: 288 Head Gasket Planning

The old gasket was steel, not sure if it is over asbestos or not.

Is there some trick to cleaning out the pistons? I have the shop vac, rags, cleaning sprays of a couple kinds and some brushes plastic and wire. It seems like gunk is going to get in between the piston and the wall above the first ring but I don’t have anything that can fit running through that tight space… a feeler gauge maybe plus shop vac hovering above? I don’t want to damage anything.
