Gasket removal

[Wobba]

Right, I am cleaning the rocker cover at the moment, and when I get teh time I'll need to clean the block of any gaket left behind on the surface.

How is this best done and whats best on the soft ally rocker cover? Dont wanna scratch it overly...

Brake cleaner or if not carb cleaner. Just rub with a cloth, obv don't use anything rough.

Ok, I managed to spray the rocker bits before I left for work with carb cleaner. I'll let it soak a bit and have a go at it tonight :D

Was sooo much crap on the rocker cover. I've cleaned it so much I am considering polishing it now!

This carb cleaner really stinks....

Another quick question: When the head is off and I am cleaning the block, I dont really want crap going into the waterways etc do I? Is tere a good way to seal them off?

i usually stick little bits of tissue in the oil and waterways, just make sure you have something to get it back out with
