I stupidly used green scotchbrite pads to clean the remaining gasket material from my aluminum cylinder head mating surfaces. Any tips on remedying this before reassembly? The heads were cleaned while off of the rest of the engine, so I was hoping a vapor blast would do the trick?
Why not jb weld?
This is exactly what I needed to see.
2 years later, any more problems?
@@matthewmagee31 Yes. The engine makes a chugging noise possibly because of what I did.

Di it worked? Or it leak?
I imagine you were good, I'd think cooling system pressures under 20 psi should do little harm to test out that nick.
