Header Gasket

Just wondering if anyone can give me any insight on how to get this damned header gasket off of the head on my engine. It's caked on there pretty good and I'm just seeing if thee's a better way to get it off other than scraping away for the next few hours.

Thanks.

You could try taping it lightly with the ball end of a ball peen hammer. Seems to work pritty good
