Way back in June last year, andy_c asked if anyone had any advice on removing a cylinder base gasket but nobody seems to have offered a solution.
I've got the same problem on my 350/4 - it's as though the gasket is part of the block, it's so hard and difficult to remove.
I suppose it's been baked on.
I'm tempted to leave it in place, but would kick myself for not having tried to get it off if there were any leaks after I'd got it all back together. I've tried a really sharp chisel, but it's ball-achingly slow and there's the risk of scoring the base of the barrel.
Can anybody help please ?
