Grim.Badger 15 Posted July 20, 2006 Probably a stupid question, but what's the best way of removing the remains of the sump gasket from the sump and block? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ryan 99 Posted July 20, 2006 A wallpaper scraper works well. Then rub the surfaces with some meths or thinners to get any sealant off. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wurzel 16 Posted July 20, 2006 I ran a blow torch over it (not to burn it but get it hot) Then a non metalic scraper is best but any scraper is good if you are careful to tease it off. Initially I tried removing the gasket from the sump just with a scraper and wish I'd never started. I then thought I'd just burn it off, which it doesn't (heat resistant) and was still going to take ages. I tried scraping again only to find by accident, that it peeled off a treat. It took seconds Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
