I would't clean the head on the pistion with a wire brush becaues you might scuff the clyinder walls if not carefull or you might scuff where the head gasket goes with that wire brush. If You also is using a steel wire brush you might get some metal left over form that brush that will cause corrsion in the clyinder.

You might try a piece of scrap hardwood to use as a scraper & tap with a hammer.
