Yeah, assuming I ever get to that point, I'm going to mount the new gaskets with a smear of grease.

KTM39, what is your secret? I started in on them with Stanley blade and brake cleaner and after 30 minutes I was maybe a quarter of the way done with one cylinder! Either mine are stuck on there worse or my technique is wrong (or both), but this is taking forever. Maybe I'm being too cautious? Are you getting any large pieces at a time to come off - I'm getting only balled up, mushy shavings.

It seems like some mad chemist should have come up with something that dissolves paper gaskets without harming metal. Idea Thanks everyone for the tips.
