You know what I’m talking about. Those hard to resist gasket removing buzz wheels that take gaskets off faster then, well let’s not go there. While nicely removing those gaskets you are also removing the nice flat gasket sealing surface on heads and intakes. We all hate this job but please guys learn how to remove gaskets the “right” way.
Unfortunately I got to learn that the hard way after the experienced mechanic across the way was telling me how great those disks that look like green scotchbrite were for cleaning up after gaskets.
Couldn't figure out why the cast iron right angle adapter was leaking. They never leak and that gasket remover couldn't remove cast iron. Or could it? :BangHead: I had spare gaskets and still had to make some calls and a drive to get another set. Then the fun of resurfacing by lapping... Lessons learned the hard way.
