Subject:Removing old gasket material
From:Dyer Lytle
Date:Thu, 25 Sep 2003 08:29:04 -0700

Hi all,

Does anyone have any tips on removing old gasket material
from an engine case?  I am (very slowly) rebuilding my 1.9
liter engine out of my '84 and am currently working the engine
case over.  Some of the old, baked on, gasket material is
difficult to remove and I want to get these areas clean so
the new gaskets will seal properly.  Mostly, I am using a
razor blade and a brass brush in a Dremel tool.

Yes, I have searched the archives.

Thanks,
