    Clean the carbon deposits off the pistons and take the heads apart and clean them.

    hahaha


    I would just spend most of the time cleaning as much stuff as you can. The cleaner everything is the better, and the better it looks. There are tons of things you can do while the heads are off. It just depends if you wanna do it, wanna spend the money, and if the car really needs it.
