[QUOTE="pidjones, post: 89392, member: 3026"] Picked up Permatex gasket remover, more carb cleaner and some brake cleaner on the way home from work. Painted the gasket remover on and left it to work. Got out the surface block and Dycem. Thought I had some Prussian blue, but couldn't locate it. I like it because you can make it so thin, and do both removal and transfer checks. After letting the remover set a couple hours, I scrapped more and used brown Scotchbrite (fine). I think it is finally all off - at least off of the high spots. Blued up the head and taped a piece of 800 grit to the surface block. Light rub on the block reveals the center of the head is low, front and back are high. Put another coat on after a few quick passes with the file, and put a coat on the block. Tomorrow I'll call a glass dealer near my workplace and see if I can get a thick piece. The surface block is too heavy to get any kind of accurate impression on the block. And, I'm sure not about to glue sandpaper to a precision granite surface block! BTW, the gasket remover was NOT worth the price! Did very little additional gasket residue softening, and was a mess to use. Takes all of the paint off, though!
