block and paint question

[artmo]

i got most of my crud from my head gasket, but yet there are like little chunks that will like not come off easily and was woundering what good tools or whatever i could use to get the little hard stuff off with? oh and i need ideas on what i should paint my block, i wanted white but i hear it turns yellow

Soak it with WD40 over night and use a plastic scraper...break cleaner on the hard areas. Do not use anything that will scratch the head or block and don't use a scotchbright pad...unless, that is, you are going to deck both

White would be nasty in a month...I used hi-temp engine paint...black.

yeah i guess i will just have to do black, im glad my brother is a good painter he will help me out quite a bit with that, but yeah i never thought of brake cleaner... niice i like that, lol
