    • Detach the rubber CDI from the spark plug by gently pulling up and away from the engine.

    • The rubber part that grabs the spark plug on the CDI is very delicate and may break with excessive force, use minimal force

    • Place your 3/8" wrench on any of the four top cap nuts on the compression head currently on the bike.

    • Turn the wrench counter clock wise to loosen the cap nut and remove it. Then remove the washer and the locking washer. Repeat this for all cap nuts.

    • Keep the washers and lock washers with the cap nut they were with on the compression head, it is not recommended to mix them up.

    • Use the flat head screw driver to remove washers stuck to the compression head.

    • Sometimes the bolt gets stuck on the nut and comes out, do not worry, this is normal.

    • Remove the compression head by lifting up.

    • Remove the head gasket from the engine. Sometimes the head gasket gets stuck to the compression, remove the head gasket if it is stuck to the compression head.

    • Clean metal head gasket with the rubbing alcohol.

    • Reinstall metal head gasket on the engine after cleaning.

    • Without the head gasket properly cleaned and replaced onto the engine the engine will not run properly.
