You say Scotchbrite and I immediately think of the pads on the wheels for the diegrinder. (Same material as the pads although not as aggressive) Back about 10 or so years ago GM did a study as to why they were having so many lower end issues. (Bearings and such) most of the lower end failures had an intake revealed and Scotchbrite pads were used for gasket surface cleaning. Immediately, Bristle Disc's were designed and recommended.

No no no. When I say scotch pads, I’m talking the ones for scrubbing kitchen counters, the little rectangular green suckers. It takes a lot for elbow grease but they work fairly well.

Do you mean the SOS pads with the soap on them? The steel wool ones? Or the green square scotchbrite. I’m just asking to keep this all straight. :realcrazy:

There you go, Scotchbrite is all encompassing. From pot scrubbers to nasty die grinder accessories
 
I have a long arm scraper that holds a razor blade. Usually works well. The Scotchbrite squares work ok but that dust and fibers get everywhere

I used one of those neat disc pads for cleaning the gasket surface on the cast iron right angle oil fliter adapter. Took three gasket sets and two runs to Tillman's speed shop before I figured out it was a SIW. :BangHead: Time saver. NOT.:mad:

Then the fun of lapping the adapter back to flat.

Of course I needed the car for something the next morning...

If you can makes sparks fly with a "gasket remover product" it can't be good.
 
on a different note, please say an extra prayer tonight for us. Tomorrow is the first step of many to hopefully get justice. It’s gonna be a rough day for everyone here.

SIW?
 
self inflicted wound
in other words I caused the damaged to the parts with the handy new gasket cleaning method the mechanic across the way showed me.
