Re: Clearing old gasket
gentle and careful use of a blade, taking care not to damage the face.
of if your name is Jam, just stick the old one back together and crank it up.

Re: Clearing old gasket
Just did an engine casing WD40 breaks down the fibres of the old gasket and a flat screwdriver and a little patience does the rest.you can do plenty damage with a razor blade. What's it for and is it off or on the bike?

Re: Clearing old gasket
Gaskets made in uk before 1986 still contained asbestos, many countries world wide still allow asbestos to be used so be careful when handling damaged gaskets.
