thanks for posting the link, BTW. the tutorial also has a few links to other tutorials that you may wish to look at. If you can get by without properly removing the heat blanket, that will cut the job to 1/4 the time.

Mine is up on stands. No leaking like last Winter. The washer trick didn't work for me but it helped. Hope the break in action allowed that leak to seal up completely.
I torqued to spec. As mentioned, DO NOT try top fix this by tightening because the aluminum threads in the head will strip pretty easy and then you really are supposed to get a new head--according to Kawi.
I believe the best thing to do us get the newand improved head gasket and replace the washer/rubber rings on top as well as the head hole gaskets inside. If that doesn't fix it as it should be done, you know the problem is not parts and you know the only thing to do is throw washers in there.
