				gasket stuck to metal
			 
			
			I am upgrading the chain tensioners on my 3.0L and the gasket on the left chain tensioner housing is stuck on the housing pretty good.  I have a gasket scraper and tried WD-40-ing it off but it still is on there pretty good.   
		
	
		
	
			
				Any of you guys have tricks to getting old gaskets off? I wish porsche had reusable metal gaskets. That would be nice.

			scrape, scrape, scrape.......and then scrape.   Finish with a scotchbrite pad.

			a sharp buck knife works well for the majority of it. then a small sharp wood chisel for around the studs.
