Oven Cleaner is your friend...it is designed to eat carbon deposits. It stinks, but works very well.

True...but it isn't going to be on there for hours, so any potential damage would be minimal. Get your toothbrush out and work in the Mr Muscle, then leave it for 30 mins.

I used Carb Cleaner to rinse it all away...and lots of it. I think I used at least a couple of cans. Worth it though.

mission accomplished!!! ;D ;D

all together 9 hours it took, fitted the new gaskets and put it al back together, fired up first time :)

went for a drive to drop my dads tools off( about ten miles) and no leaks ;D

there is a bit of smoke but i'm thinking that's just the old oil on the exhaust.

i'm so chuffed that me and the missus managed to do this, probably the biggest job i've ever done on a car.

thanks for the help people :y
