hi guys getting to the final stages of putting my engine back into my ute and i am replacing the gasket where the injection manifold bolts to the head on a ca18 and the gasket has gone hard and is really stuck badly to the head, i started scraping it with a paint scraper but in a spot i got the scraper stuck and it dug a small chip out of the head. im just wondering if theres any tricks to softening the gasket or anything to get it off i tried a bit of paint stripper but that didnt do much if anything at all. the engine is in the car at the moment somaybe consider that before posting.
