Very careful use of a razor blade will speed things up quite a bit. Your seal is only as good as the sealing surface, so try not to mar the mating surfaces.

and if there's any residual gasket left over, brake clean helps. and yea, make sure you dont dig into the head, it will leak if ya do.

i use a 5in1 scraper first, if that doesnt work, the back of a ballpene hammer works awesome.
