Assuming you're not planning to completely change your fuel there is a product that is well tested to remove the deposits you're seeing. It's called Mopar Combustion Chamber cleaner. You can buy it at any Dodge or Chrysler dealer. Google it and you'll find lots of DSM references for it.

Also can be used with the head on the car, for those of you who are curious.

LOL for meth suggestions....

I remember when I took my head off, I just used clean motor oil and a rag and it came right off. I didn't need to scrap, scratch or anything, they just cleaned and shined like new.

Much less? I don't even think they make a fraction that small!

Most of that carbon won't clean up very much unless you put some serious elbow grease into it. Make sure if you use some kind of chemical cleaner to flush whatever is in your oil pan before startup.

perfectly normal, leave it as is. Cleaning them will not do anything for you.

Use brake dust cleaner to clean the top of the pistons.

cleaning the carbon build up on the pistons can help the car perform better. The reason being is the carbon creates "hot spots" which can cause preignition.
