Rubber eraser wheel for a drill does wonders, won't damage the aluminium at all.

@Comm0ut 1 year ago

Worth noting is some modern engine gasket surfaces are machined to specific finishes (mostly on automobiles) so the least aggressive methods tend to get best results.
Old bikes are no worry but it's worth checking when info is available.

Brake fluid works well ...if the gasket area can be heated a little then add the brake fluid...leave for 15 mins then scrape off

@garyyorke1080 4 years ago

Probably THE most hated and annoying of jobs on any build . Not heard of the gasket spray before but I'm a scraper and blade man .I do have a large machined piece of high speed steel tooling that I use as well if it's a bit stubborn. Then a very fine grit wet n dry on a metal block to just hone anything that you cant feel or see , obviously very gently and slow . Thanks as always for showing a few options and tips to help out the budding builders.

I've also used a purpose kept sharpening stone, on the flat areas, with oil as lubricant after the bulk has been scraped off. Keep it flat, work in circles, use the fine side of the stone unless you're real sure and careful. Does well to surface heads too but no replacement for having skimmed.

We have that given to use free by engine machine shop we deal with.

My personal one is a carbide paint scraper.

@NitroFox0o 3 years ago

WD-40 seemed to do a good job for me.

@jerrybigrig9475 4 years ago

I've taken an old file..
With a decent handle ..sharpen an edge to it ..works nice ..

@MISTERR0BOT0 4 years ago

roloc bristle disc green or yellow. or klean strip spray can and scraper

@siddino8602 3 years ago

Instead of a sanding disc, a 3M yellow roloc works well. Theyre alot safer for machined surfaces. Thats just me though. Take with salt.

@3613jeremy 1 year ago

I've been using those rotary polisher stripper bits they can grind the aluminum away if your aggressive with it but slowly keeping it moving it works great

@thisisyaren 3 years ago

really nice video man

@thinkingimpaired5663 4 years ago (edited)

Not my favorite job, however used to utilize a hot tank to remove stubborn gaskets. Back then the painted cases were slowly being introduced on new bikes. And if we wanted the painted look on motors we would paint them. ourselves. So Hot tanks worked really well.

Solid tips!! 👌👌💯💯🙌🙌

@BadhandAtIt 1 year ago

You use the carbide scraper on the pull stroke.

Great vid, Mate. Looking forward to the brushed aluminum finish vid, Dan. Each spring, I try to renew the aluminum fork tubes surfaces on my HD Fatboy… it’s not fun. Hope you have some tricks and tools to share! Cheers, Mate
