OK, I've got a Martin 7.5 that I've just recently unstuck the lower piston. Now that everything is freed up, it's time to reassemble.
Problem: The head gasket is "cemented" to the recessed portion of the aluminum head where it is impossible to get any tools to work it. Plus, the mating surface of this part of the head has circular "ridges" to improve sealing that cannot be marred.
The gasket is like concrete! What I want to do is soak the head to loosen up this gasket.
Any ideas of what to use?
