Is there a magic trick or a special tool that's needed to remove the copper gasket from the head where the exhaust bolts?
I'm in the processing of cleaning (and more cleaning and more cleaning and more cleaning... ) from 50 years of oil leaks and in the process of partial disassembly for some push rod tube seal replacement, but after removing the head exchangers, I haven't found a reasonable way of removing the copper gaskets from the head. Any helpful experience or out there? |

I have a small pick shaped tool with a slight bend in the tip. Just use it to hook underneath the copper gasket. It works every time.
I like Mark's idea too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Always up for making a new special tool from those I already have on hand! |
