Ray Barton turned me onto this unreal, super-slick, $10 (USA) carbide scraper a few years back - nothing else comes close!

Looks like maybe a lathe tool insert or something like that...held on with a screw? Where can we get one?

Looks like a grout removal tool for ceramic tile!

Tell me it isn't so!

Got any other pics of that?

It is made by Lisle, specifically made for removing gaskets. The carbide bit is held on by a screw, can be rotated / flipped to provide 6 total wear sufaces.

The debris kinda peels off and curls up cleanly, nothing will fly into your eye.

I found one souce online:

Lisle scraper

..I'm sure there are lots of others, most auto parts stores can order Lisle tools. I also swear by their "wrinkle band" ring compressor.

Looks like Northern auto tool has it also; a bit cheaper even. I don't know if they have a minimum order or not.
https://www.northernautoparts.com/ProductModelDetail.cfm?InventoryId=6953

Also has replacement heads for $5.

I think I'll have to pick one up as well.


If you ever find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

with Rug Trucker looks similar to a grout removal tool at home but no handle with bend. http://www.homedepot.com/webapp/wcs/stor...23X-_-100194652

Didn't I just say that?

Mopar Performance will repackage them and sell them for $21.95 No warranty, and probably won't fit!

Hmmm... Abrasive...aluminum oxide mds here

I guess if MOPAR says OK; however...




Forget what the MDS says , I use those to remove RUST off my firewall , the LAST place I would go near wit hsomething sporting ALUM> OXIDE as the cleaning surface is a MACHINED SURFACE ...

From some Mopar TSBs:
Gasket Surface Preparation On Aluminum Engine Components
"NOTE: DO NOT USE METAL SCRAPERS GRINDING DISCS OR ABRASIVES TO CLEAN ALUMINUM ENGINE COMPONENTS. DAMAGE TO THE SEALING SURFACE WILL OCCUR."

Multi-Layer Steel (MLS) Head Gasket Installation Procedures
"Using a plastic or wooden scraper, scrape any large amounts of gasket residue from the surfaces. If necessary, apply additional solvent/gasket remover to ease removal.
If additional cleaning is needed, use a drill motor and 3M roloc bristle disc p/n 07528 (white) carefully remove remaining gasket material from head/block"

White is called fine by 3M, and they call yellow medium.

Personally, I would use any type of abrasive or power equipment as a last resort. At work, we use Plexiglas scrapers on everything, which us usually aluminum. Southwest Airlines wants only a specific scraper, which is a plastic softer than the Plexiglas, used on their aircraft. They tried using a cheaper maintenance company in Canada, and they used razor blades to remove seal on the skin. The entire plane had to be scraped. We got their business back after that.
