Good point. We must have removed the cams then. Actually, I remember doing it now. The head came back completely hot tanked... no cams or lifters.

What my father usually suggests is to get a clean, thin, steel putty knife and use that to scrape off the stubborn material. A hobby knife should be used as a last resort as there's a very high risk of gouging the aluminum. The worst thing is to have a gouge that goes all the way across the surface. That's a sure recipe for a leak!
