18. Remove the cylinder head and place on clean work blocks.
19. Remove the cylinder head gasket.
20. Clean all of the gasket surfaces
21. Use the following steps when cleaning the cylinder head and cylinder block surfaces:
    1. Use a razor blade gasket scraper to clean the cylinder head and cylinder block gasket surfaces. Do not scratch or gouge either surface.
    2. Use a new razor blade on the cylinder head and a new blade on the cylinder block.
    3. Hold the razor blade as parallel to the gasket surface as possible.
       
       WARNING

       Be careful not to gouge or scratch the gasket surfaces. DO NOT gouge or scrape the combustion chamber surfaces. The feel of the gasket surface is important, not the appearance. There will be indentations from the gasket left in the cylinder head after all of the gasket material is removed. These small indentations will be filled in by the new gasket.
       
       
       
       WARNING

       DO NOT use any other method or technique to clean these gasket surfaces. DO NOT use a tap to clean the cylinder head bolt holes.
22. Clean the bolts holes with a nylon bristle brush.
23. When cleaning the cylinder head bolt holes use suitable commercial spray liquid solvent and compressed air from an extended-tip blow gun in order to reach the bottom of the holes.

To install:
