I have tried everything but the black junk will not come off. Used carb cleaner w/a razor blade, tried a dremel with a polishing wheel, went to a fine wire wheel with a drill and even tried paint stripper. Are there any other removel hint tips you can give me. Thinking of trying air craft stripper, also my friend is gonna let me borrow some aluminum dyes-dies. WTH I really need some help on this one spent over 2 hours trying to clean this and have to get it done tomorrow.
TIA

 

go to an auto parts store and get a GASKET REMOVER. you let it sit for like 10 mins and just scrape the gasket off. really easy and shouldn't take 2 hrs.

 

I was just joking about gasket remover when we was tring everything else, they really make dat sht?? wicked awsome will have to goto Autozone and get-in the zone and get some
