Surface cleaning for gasket

[SWYZ721]

Ok, so I'm changing the gasket right now, and I'm cleaning the surfaces, but the gasket is on there like a mutherfuucker, is their any thing I can spray on and leave for a little bit to help make it come off easier?

Do you think rubbing alcohol would be ok?

Are we talking about a block deck
or
a thermo housing

Any kind of description would be helpful ... like

Are we talking about Steel or Aluminum surfaces

What are you working on?

I have an elec dremel, and it started cutting into the metal, and with the header still next to the head, I don't want metal shavings flying around.

This **** is a REAL BIITCH man, I've been scraping it with a flathead and a utility knife and I'm having NO LUCK!

Anybody?

Go to a parts store and get gasket remover. It comes in an arosol can. It won't work magic, but may help some.

How necessary is it? I'm fighting with the last bits right now. Also what side faces the head the metal side or the graphite side?
