Air leak

[Roger]

I have an air leak between the valve plate and head, the graphite gasket seems to be the problem, the manual requires the repair be made by a qualified tech. Not sure why, it seems to be a straight forward repair "remove screws, remove head, remove gasket replace gasket and reassemble". Am I missing something here? Is there a torque spec, is something spring loaded? and if I am replacing the one gasket should I be replacing other parts simply because of disassembly? Thanks in advance Roger

I also had the same problem. just took the head off real simple to do no small parts seems the head gaskets are poorly made better get a couple sets good luck
