What is the best solvent or method for removing the remnants of gaskets and sealing agents (Loctite, etc...)? I removed my heads from the cam housing and I am trying to get the sealing surfaces clean before putting it back together.
Thanks,
Bob
scuffy pad on a die grinder = quick and shiney!
Any other way is laborious and painful, not to mention potentially hazardous to your gasket surface (e.g. scrapers).
This solution assumes a few things
1) you have air
2) you have a die grinder
3) your surfaces are somewhat flat and accessible for a die grinder
Since I've never dived into a TIV motor, I don't know what the surfaces you are referring to look like. I'm just speaking from general engine-work experience.

Loc tite makes a product called chisle. Works great just DO NOT get it on you.
This is the stuff.

Might lift off gaskets and some adhesives, but 200K mile Kuril may be a different story. Carb cleaner and bead blasting hardly touch it .................... The Cap'n
