MR_Loyale Posted May 27, 2014 Share Posted May 27, 2014 So what do people do to clean this up without gouging the block surface? Parts of the head gasket are stuck to mine as well as the heads (which I will let the machine shop deal with). Also, how the hell does one get those HLA's out of their bores?

81EA81 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 I used a brass pipe fitting for the big stuff, usually with WD-40. Then a good scrubbing with a maroon 360 grit scotch brite pad for the rest. Keep in mind I have only done one engine this way so others may say differently, but that is what I did on an EJ22 Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MilesFox Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 scrape it off with a razor. the blade will develop a curl that will prevent it fro gouging, you can scrape with the blade perpendicular to the deck. polish off with scotch brite if you so desire. rinse down with wd40 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
