Carbon Build up question

Right now since i still dont have the motor installed what can i use to clean the head beside taking it apart and sending it to a shop. I wanted to go the SEAFOAM route but the engine needs to be in to perform this action. Any tips on the carbon build up inside? I did a search and saw the EXHAUST PORT write up and i will attempt that today.

The best thing to use is a 'top engine cleaner' like Mopar's Combustion Chamber Cleaner, or GM's version called KLEENS

I use this stuff to cleam my EGR valve and the EGR ports in the intake manifold too.

wtf, why did you even respond?

I would just use carb cleaner and a wire brush.

The wire brush just for the exhaust ports?
