mobythevan Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Everytime I rebuild a holley carb the gaskets are stuck on really bad. Is there an easier way to get them off. The job is too delicate to just scrape them. I tried putting some penetrating oil on the gasket material to soften it up, but it is like someone super glued these things on. Maybe some other product would work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Have you tried gasket remover from the auto parts store? Seriously nasty stuff, but it works. I wouldn't get any inside the carb or on any rubber parts though. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobythevan Posted January 26, 2004 Author Share Posted January 26, 2004 oops, I never noticed gasket remover at the parts store before(never even thought to look for it). I'll give that a shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim240z Posted January 26, 2004 Share Posted January 26, 2004 Next time you rebuild the carb use the reusable 'rubber' gaskets. They never stick. Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mobythevan Posted February 1, 2004 Author Share Posted February 1, 2004 Tried the gasket remover, its awesome Spray on, wait ten minutes, gasket turns to goo and is easily removed without scratching the surfaces. Only thing I guess is to make sure all plastic parts are removed, probably turns them to goo also. Thanks Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
