does any one have any tricks to getting the rest of the stock composite ---- from the head gasket and head?? i've tried razor blades.. carb cleaner... kerosine..and the ---- just won't come off and i'm not going to get anything milled to clean it up..

 

use a small paint scrapper with a wide flat blade, dont us a screwdriver.

 

i tried that too.. and a wide *** razor blad..the ---- is crazy stuck on

 

Yeah, wouldnt do the angle grinder method on an aluminum block, get a gasket scraping tool and go to town dude.

 

They have these circle pieces that are gasket removers. They dont take metal away and can be found at any harbor freight or tools store. Razor is only good for large chunks you gouche into it enjoy a blown hg

 

i'll have to see if i can find some kind of gasket remover you guys are talking about... thanks for the advice

 

You need red 3m circle pads. You can buy a set at Vatozone.

 

This is what I use also. I just had to remove a composite gasket last week and I also had one hell of a time removing it. It was like it was ------- glued on. Good luck
