Message: [QUOTE="Dzchey21, post: 907995, member: 63"] Not that its 6.0 stuff But how we do it at work is razor blades, and then a flat scotchbright pad with the really course black pads, and do it by hand with mineral spirits. Cleans and lubricates well I'm personally with wayne on this one that you really shouldnt do it with power tools at all, i just dont feel comfortable with it. The thing you have to think about is the head gaskets most important surface is the 1/4 inch surounding the cylinder itself, It is very easy to cut this down enough to where you will get a blow gasket between cylinders. On the cat engines we do, its easy to tell most of the time, if you get done cleaning and cannot see the factory machining marks on the top of the block then its not going to hold, now granted this is with a wet liner, but its still gotta seal. The other thing is its really hard to measure that close to the cylinder wall to make sure your within the spec specified by ford, and this is the most critical part. I have also on 6.4s used a good old block for sanding cars, with 320 grit paper to ensure flatness, its more of a check than antyhing i dont really clean it with that, you run the sand paper up and down and check your sanding marks to make sure its contacting all the way around the cylinders and the block deck. Little long winded but i hope it helps, doing a 6.0 stud job here soon and this is how im going to do it. [/QUOTE]
