I used a wire wheel on a drill. You have to be very careful using this technique though.

i bought some gasket remover and ive already used a plastic ice scraper. is it ok for the block to still be color of gasket? and there are a couple of spots on each side of the block that arent smooth like the rest of it even tho ive scraped at it and used a scoth bright pad

tape off your cylinders if you're using scotch brite pads. that grit will find its way to your bearings.
