Default Pace long tubes.

I was dumb and used the included paper gaskets that came with the kit, well they blew out and leaked around just about every port, pulled it all apart, and they are like baked on the head.

What do you guys use for a gasket remover? I got a very got amount off but in the ports between cylinder 3 and one is just not working for me, cant get my dremmel down far enough with the wheel in.
