Quick block cleaning question for headgasket
Quick block cleaning question for headgasket i used a green 3m sponge thing like this
to get the gasket off, it seems to do an ok job, but my question is this wont harm the block at all will it? i thought this is what everyone uses but i found out its the scotchbright green pad. Any diff?

Any diff? People mess up using scrapers, screw drivers, anything metalic that will gouge our aluminum blocks. That is perfectly fine to use for getting the gasket off. Was it much work to get it off?

Last time around I used plastic scrapers (as always) and some Scotchbrite pads...wiped it down real good with adhesive remover (Prep All) from time to time while doing it.
Came out real nice.

If you read the Scotchbrite package, I believe it states it is non-metallic so it shouldn't harm the block. Just be careful about getting pieces in the coolant ports or the cylinders. I wipe the cylinders down with oil real well so anything that goes in sticks to the wall and I can wipe it off.
