scraping gaskets
I've been doing my own auto repair work for over 20 years, and I've always hated scraping off old, baked on gaskets. Anyone got any tips on how to make this chore easier?

Use good quality gaskets in the first place which come off easier than cheap ones .
Sometimes, there's nothing worse than doing that, I agree. I sometimes use the die grinder on the air compressor to remove old gaskets. There are chemical solvents that help remove them.
Somtimes, nothing works better than a good single edged razor blade and a little fine sandpaper.
I also use a little WD40 to keep the piece moist and soften the old gasket material.
Depends on the situation at hand really. I try to use FelPro gaskets as they are well made and require minimum use of sealer which is always messy on the next go around
