i work at a dealership and we have more than just a headgasket to remove. expecialy on sea doos they have all kinds of paper gaskets that fall apart and are hard as ---- to get off.
Once again, Razor blade and some paint thinner, then when youre done lightly sand the surface with 400 grit and its good as new. then put some copper gasket spray on the new gasket when you put it one, it will seal better and will be easier to remove later.

If that dosnt work then I dont know what will, I use razorblades and various corrosive fluids, then I use gasketspray, I dont know why they wouldnt let you use gasket spray, Ferrari Use similar stuff at their dealerships in europe.

they dont make it anymore, and god damn on the price

that isnt a bad deal for a collectors edition tool box. that box alone without the rat fink would prolly run you $2500-

i just wanted to know what the bit was called when i pull apart a boat motor (wich i do every day) theres about 20 gaskets i have to scrape off then sand down. the guy i work with said some guy there had a bit with like fingers on it that took the gasket right off. just trying to make my day alittle easyer

when i remove gaskets i use a whizzy wheel which is a green plastic peice or a bristol brush peice. Both work great cause they remove the gasket and rough the surface so the next gasket has something to grip onto. The box is nice cause its a big *** box ill need for the snapon tool kit im buying through there school program.PLus its a badass box and im into old school ---- like rat phink and the clay cams road runner.

Link mustang-i go to pitt community college and im in the automotive technition program, yeah i love goin there (even thought im skipping class right now), Im in the second year of a two year program. Its alot of basic bullshit in the beginning but if you hang in there then it gets really fun.

Talk to the Matco guy. We have one at work. The pic is cool, but it's not worth $3000.

---- no i can get a big *** snap-on box with 60% off normal price way larger then that. And for the thread jcker just use wizzy wheels man how easy are-very. Thing about the box is it would be cool to have the limited addition but if its to much adn to hard then id be better off just buyin a matco box at a great price with normal paint and then paint rat phink on myself and then id be able to throw the clay cams road runner on there.

that was what I was gonna say. my brother just bought a huge snap on tool chest (I havent seen it yet) and hes gonna have the mopar emblem painted on it. he found a pinstriper guy at a car show, and is gonna hire him. only gonna run him like $250 and the guy will come to the house to paint it. snap on wanted an extra $700-$1000 for a box with something on it.

Matco boxes are by far the nicest in the industry, before I bought mine I looked at snap on, mac and cornwell boxes. I'm very happy with mine, even though it will be paid off sometime in late 2007

Whizy wheel w/ Green/Yellow pad is the best for removing gaskets from aluminum. and 80/120 grit (brown/blue) pads are good for cast iron.
