Gasket removal

[sschering]

For those hard to reach spots I have an old broken flat head screwdriver..
I ground the broken blade to a sharp edge.. Not so sharp it'll gouge but it's makes quick work of gaskets..

Todd..one other thought. Those Exacto knifes work well up near the center of the block ( head ) around those curved sections.

Along the same lines, I use a 1/2" wood chisel to scrape the gasket.

It's not the "sharp" that gouges, it's the angle at which you use it. I keep mine VERY sharp so I don't have to press hard and force it.

This project is long gone. Look at the date. 10 mos old.

I ended up using fresh razor blades(several of em), gasket remover and lots of time.
The wife even had a hand in it. Got is all cleaned off, replaced with an OEM gasket and it was good to go.
