quickest and easiest way if there is a lot.the other option is to use gasket remover if its not completly baked on.when using a wire wheel dont concentrate in one area too long and be carefull around the ring lands
dang it,, fingers wernt fast enough,,lol

a wire brush is fine, I also would use some carb cleaner, it will help loosten the hard carbon, not knowing if you have the pistons off or how you are working on them, just be careful around the ring lands
+1 on that using some today on mine

PBBlaster sprayed or poured through spark plug holes into combustion chamber, and allowed to soak for awhile, supposedly allows the carbon buildup to be blasted out the exhaust when the engine is next run. Or perhaps sprayed into carbs on running engine until engine dies, let sit for awhile to soak inside combustion chambers, then crank and run engine.
Sometimes water mist is sprayed into carbs while engine's running, to reportedly help blow out the built up carbon.
Results from the Mopar product (spray-can?) are impressive.
Wonder how the other products and water spray compare?
Good Fortune!

Wow, Okatar, can't argue with that! Where do you buy that combustion chamber cleaner?
I did a whole thread on this some time ago, I will try and find it and post a link. The one you see in the picture is from any Mopar dealer. Or you can buy it in different packaging on eBay from this guy. I bought a whole case because it was co cheap.
Here is one link, but I know there is another which I will try to find.
