Re: [Amc-list] 195.6 head is back

Tom,

Vacuum out the loose stuff and if it still bothers you, run some top 
engine cleaner (the stuff GM sells does a good job) through the engine 
to clean it out. The carbon build up only makes the engine more ping 
sensitive (and you need to have a lot of it built up) but I doubt 
there's enough compression there for it to hurt anything.
