A razor blade (single sided) works great. Scrape, don't slice. Keep the angle low (30 degrees UP from FLAT is good to start). High angles make razor blades skip.

If there are trouble spots, some 00 or maybe 0 steel wool might work, but... there are lots of steel hairs floating around. A softish scotch brite pad might work too.

Whatever you do, I would thoroughly oil the bores and piston tops before scraping anything. The oil will capture the small scraps when they touch the oil, and cleanup is easy.

Good Luck!
