After cleaning, do comp test to make sure you have compression or you will be stripping & taking head off.
Fun stuff, but you should be right, vacuum!!!!

Thanks for the info mate. Firstly, we have no compression tester, so going to make things hard! Quite concerned about this soot/gunk falling into where the valves are. Vaccum seems to be doing 'ok' but can still see little bits dropping down as we scrape it. Really cant afford for the truck to be off the road as its his work ute.
Is there any other methods to doing this? Or should we just leave the head ports alone and get this done professionally later on. Doesnt really solve anything as there is still restriction in the intake system if its still clogged up!!
Slightly frustrated and not sure which direction to take now.

Ok, so all cleaned with extreme care and vaccuming at the same time to remove crud being scraped out. Got it all together and now won't start. Beginning to think there is crap that's gotten dislodged and ended up underneath the valves. Have fuel at the injectors, but just not starting.
Where to from here?? Strip it all back down and start removing the head?
Is it going to do any damage buy turning it over for 20-30secs in the hope it will kick over??

Put your battery's on charge.
Get a mate to pump fuel while you crank.
Keep crancking, 15 seconds on then 1 minute rest. It might stomp the soot eventually.
Cross your fingers.
If your not sure email me your number & I will call you.
