man up nucca...that ---- takes time to do it without ------- up the block or head sometimes. Ive seen people do it with a little wheel on an angle grinder but i was always afraid to

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

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
