Solvent?
I know someone posted this before, but I can't find it. What was the solvent that will take off three bond gasket adhesive? It'll be much easier than scrapping.........thanks........steve

I don't know what has been said before, but I know that NAPA has a spray on Gasket Remover that does a pretty good job.

LOCTITE 7063 worked great for me.

Napa sells permatex gasket remover. It comes in a blue spray can, I use it all the time.

I was just using acetone (nail polish remover basically) to clean up my aluminum cases when I noticed it was removing the excess case sealer that NRHS uses.
Hope this helps.

Thanks guys, I hate scrapping those last bits, but I'm probably like ya'll, it's got to be perfectly clean before I'll start reassembly............steve

reverse cone
Steve,
Are those true reverse cone megaphones on your exhaust or do you have baffles in them?
