Do the tops of these pistons tell you anything?

I have seen some head bolts before that you could almost twist them out
with your bare fingers.I bet you almost 100 percent of the vehicles
running around today have a few head bolts that have lossened up.

An old ''trick'' used to be to slowly dribble some water (not to much
that would cause the engine to stop running) into the carburetor.That is
suppose to ''steam clean'' the carbon off of the pistons and cylinder
head(s) I have never tried it out before though.Another one is to soak
the cylinder head(s) over night in water,suppose to loosen up the carbon
so it will be easier to scrape off the carbon.I did once try that one
out, I couldn't see that it made much difference though.Back in the old
days, people used to do a carbon job on their vehicles every few
weeks.Motor oil is much, much better nowadays.
