As title states need some help on cleaning the block, the head has been resurfaced and cleand by a pro but having a tuff time cleaning the block, i have used gasket remover spray and a window cleaner blade worked wonders! got rid of most of the reamaing gasket now just cant get the low part of the fused gasket to the block
what should i do lightly use a whire wheel on a drill? and then wet sand with a very very high grade paper so i dont put any high and low spots in the block?
cheers Dean

there is a special kind of light duty rotating plastic brush attachment they use on die grinders a lot in the U.S. for this. punch it into youtube and you'll see what I mean :)
not sure where you'd get one here though. I'm also curious as to whether you could attach that piece to a drill?

Go to Bunnings & buy a large flat oil stone.
Use the smooth side with a liberal amount of oil or WD.
Circular motion or figure eights.
Carby cleaner to clean up when done.
+ flush your oil & change the filter.
