    The 47 year old paper gaskets are good and stuck to the spacers. The spacers are in good shape so I don't want to damage them removing the paper. I am thinking grinder? No just kidding. I have removed one but it was slow going. Does any good way of softening them up to make it a little less tedious?

    Well just my luck. I just found who ever put my rebuild kits together put 7 gaskets in the kit. luckily I have 4 green superformance gaskets.

    The paper gaskets are not stuck to the isolators / spacers. They are glued on from new.
    Never tried to remove them.

    Best from Germany
