Gasket stripper leave it on ONLY as long as recommended as it is VERY strong

When you're cleaning ally, you should always start with the mildest cleaning method possible:
· Plain water · Mild soap / detergent · Solvents such as kerosene, turpentine or white spirit · Non-etching chemical cleaner · Wax-based polish · Abrasive wax · Abrasive cleaner Water marking / staining is the biggest thing to watch for and prevent when cleaning ally, but seeing as it's your cylinder head, it shouldn't really matter |

you shouldn't have to clean the gasket off anyway. all the gasket will come off when the head is skimmed
