Damned intake gaskets!
I don't see how you can get these baked on things off without being fairly aggressive. I am using a scraper tool and have not left any gouges, but certainly some fine scratch marks. Anyone know of a good chemical to use to loosen them up?

Interesting that you're having problems. Mine all popped/fell off when I pulled the intake.
I would assume that any scratches or gouges left by the scraper would cause no issue as the gaskets are there to fill in any imperfections in the mating surfaces.

As long as youre not stabbing the **** out of it, I dont think fairly light scratches here would cause trouble. Once you torque the intake down, that gasket squishes all over the place.

That's what I am hoping. I went out and bought permatex gasket remover and am now spraying, waiting, and scraping. Repeat, Repeat, ect. Its a slow process. Here are some before/current pics

Take this time to delete the venturi and replace all of the hoses under the intake. You will be happy you did! You can do a search for info on the venturi delete.

Grease works but I bet if you put it on without any sealer, it will come right off next time...they come off that easy.
