Just found a great thread in the Punto section here that really ties in with my results. Funny coolant, funny smell, loss of water, but not much oil mayo. Makes me feel happy to see it also mentions no is most commonand that there will probably be no carbon left on that piston.
The head wasn't ready today, so hopefully it will be ready tomorrow
To tide myself over i'm going to clean the block tonight, just the mating surface really and possibly the pistons, but is it really worth cleaning the carbon off, or just leaving it on there? If I do clean it off, anything to look out for?

If you are going to clean the block and/or the pistons, have vacuum cleaner handy to get rid of all the bits. You don't want them down the sides of the pistons.
