Cleaner fot head gaskets?//Cleaning Deck

Quick Question?

Is it okay to use some carb cleaner or other type cleaner to clean the deck on the block after the gaskets come off and scraping off all the big gunk?

lacquer thinner works great and evaporates very quickly. I've always used it.

I just used a scotchbrite pad and a drill. Gotta make sure you dont actually take off any deck material though.
