Re: removing headgasket from block

I use a Bristle Wheel to do all my Subaru blocks/heads. They make different colored ones (I was always told the yellow one on aluminum blocks/heads, green one for steel)

They wont dig into the aluminum and wont leave scratches in the metal, but it will take off the old fiber/graphite gaskets that are a PITA to remove.
