Oil staining deck surface

HI, I had resurfaced the decks of my block when I had rebuilt my shortblock. I covered everthing in motor oil and "Pickled" it in a engine plastic bag with the deck side down on an engine stand. Jump to now(three years later) I am going to put the heads on. I go to wipe off the oil and I see it has coagulated on the deck surface and some of it has kind of turned to a thicker molasses substance. When I wipe it off with carb spray it comes right off but leaves a bad stain. It doesn't feel etched when I run my fingernail over it, but I am using RJC gaskets and I am afraid it will hinder the way the silicone he supply's to roll on to the head gaskets. Any ever see this before? Any suggestions? Thanks turbo6man

Laquer thinner & Scotchbrite pads should clean it up. Brake clean dries fast but isnt the best "cleaner" out there, especially compared to Laquer Thinner!
If that doesnt work I'd be surprised?

Got in 1 pass at 11.30 & then blew up the tranny. It will do much better than that! High 10's here I come!
