I was wondering the same thing - I am guessing cookie = abrasive cleaning discs

Pretty much, just a nylon abrasive disc. Basically use them to get all the old gasket material, rusty crud an debris off the deck surface. That way the new gaskets have a goo clean surface to adhere to.

3m makes a nice disk... Expensive but worth it

SEABEE08FX4 · Mar 26, 2014

The 3M is what I use too.

LoL no not those ones, these looks like a red scotch bright on a small disc.

MrOneEyedBoh · Mar 26, 2014

Thats what you use.

SEABEE08FX4 · Mar 26, 2014

Yeah those are the ones, never used the others.

MrOneEyedBoh · Mar 26, 2014

You want some? I can send you one of each to give a try... You may like them better. They are more forgiving IMO since the bristles spread out and in a sense spread out the pressure if you will..

SEABEE08FX4 · Mar 26, 2014

What grit do you use?

MrOneEyedBoh · Mar 26, 2014

Ive never used them on jobs for head studs. I used them in other applications. They are deff a different feel then the pads, and I use them too. I have green and yellow for sure. I think I may have the whites.

How about I trade you for a PTP shirt, that way we both get something.

MrOneEyedBoh · Mar 27, 2014

Good deal.

This is all we use here. Some good surface prep solution and let that sit on the block while the heads are being taken care of, then clean all the prep solution off, wipe it clean, use a titanium flat knife to get big stuff (make sure this piece is very flat), and then run over it with the bristle discs lightly until it is clean to the feel (still probably looks like hell).

Never had one come back yet.
