I just finished assembling my block, actually wanted to install my arp head studs and headkgasket today but I noticed that the deck of my block is far from clean, theres a ton of caked on headgasket from the last headgasket, looks like a cheapy non oem gasket was used and its ******* caked on there good, I scraped for about 20 min just now with a window razor and got some off but theres a lot caked on there

What can I use to make it come off? Sandpaper? Some type of epentrant to dissolve it?

Hope someone has some tecniques or something

Thanks

 

 

autozone, pep boys, kragen, etc... sells the a can of gasket remover. let it soak in for awhile before you attempt to scrap it off.

 

i always hed good luck with an electric heat gun. get that **** hot and it comes off with a scraper.
