whats a good way to clean a head surface (other then getting it resurfaced)? i had some gasket removing spray laying around that worked not so great and a plastic putty knife but its still has junk on it. friend told me a brass brush is ok to use too

 

gasket romoving spray, gas, any kinda solavent will work but it may take a lil more time depending how long the gasket was on there

 

a bridgeport

 

wire wheel and a drill.

 

I usually scrape all the crap off solvents and a blade then sand the surface lightly with 800 grit.

 

die grinder + buffer wheel

 

Die grinder + Aluminum polishing wheel

 

die grinder and carbide cutter

 

^^ hah thats if you want to resurface the head

 

its for cutting speed grooves, sheesh
