I'm scraping the old gasket off the lower to upper intake. Even with gasket remover its still a PIA.
I'm useing a rasior ... would maybe some light sand paper work better?

Its not so much that I'm lazy. My car hasn't been running for 3 months and I now I have all the parts to put it back together. I just wanted to see if it was necessary to get it all off. I just picked up some gasket sealer and that is why I was asking. Thinking that the sealer would prevent any intake leaks if the old gasket wasn't 100% off.

Get one of those adapters that lets you attach the razor to a screw driver. It makes things alot easier. They are kinda like the sticker scraper they use to get your inspection stickers off. Most hardware stores will have them for like $2.
