Doing my head install, and even after scraping the deck with a gasket scraper there is still residue of the old gasket.

How clean does this need to be? Should i use some emry cloth or something to really clean them up?

Anyone have any suggestions?

 

Buy some gasket remove and try spraying that stuff on. Made my life a bit easier when removing the gasket on my differential. The stuff I got seemed to dissolve it but also acted as a lubricant too.

 

gum cutter is the ish


brakleen works nicely as well
