Acutally its crucial that you remove everything so you could have proper sealing or else its going to leak. Use a blade, also check for warpage on the block. Take the head to a machine shop for resurfacing. Hope this helps

Yes, make sure it is COMPLETELY clean. Don't be lazy about this part. A razor works good. A plastic razor might be better for you.

Napa gasket remover!! or any gasket remover will work wonders. I learned the hard way.

If its being a bastard like mine was i have a angleside grinder w/a gasketremoval tool attached to it . The only downside is that you need air , the tool to do it with . Make friends w/a mechanic and talkem into lending it to you. If not now i wonder if you could sand it down with a heavy grit sandpaper. Hope i helped.

Well, i just rebuilt my mini-me swap, and i used an angle grinder with a wizz wheel atachment. It took the damn thing right off, and left a nice clean polsihed deck. Watch out with the razor blades that you don't gouge the deck though, if you do, you may need to get it decked a hair. Hope this helps u out...
