try not to dig the blade in and keep going.
If you have some emery tape or wet and dry sandpaper put it on a file and give it a rub to finish off. Then cleanup with thinners |

Thanks, yeah i was thinking that there could be sprays that could take the old gasket material off, becuase mechanics would not sit there and scrap all the old gasket material off, it would take way to long....I will just ring an auto store to find the stuff.

Is the CRC stuff only for getting the gasket off the block?
Is it ok on the aluminium of the head?

The gasket stripper works a treat. I recommend it to anybody removing old head gaskets,

the gasket stripper would be fine on most heads it should say it on the back of the can

scraped mine off then used emery paper on a block. after that used compressed air to remove any deposits then thinners for any excess oil.

use the spray and a small scrap but dont put to much pressure on it just a slight graze across the block as you don't want to dig in and jsut make sure to clean all the gunk away
