Any tips on removing the LIM gasket? I remove most of the gasket but what’s left of it (in the picture) is a pain the *** to get off. Been spraying some carb cleaner and it “kinda” seems to work but haven’t had any luck. It’s really on there and I had already tried going from the outside of the edges.
(the two sides with 6 port prongs sticking out are the “leftover gasket” I was talking about)
Lots of companies make gasket remover for just this type of scenario. It's a slow process, but they do work.

I usually take a flat and rigid sanding block and go at it with some fairly course sandpaper (120ish). Once you get close to reaching bare metal switch to a finer grade (400-600). I usually end up sanding the entire surface of the manifold to ensure a clean surface anyways.
