UPDATE: Ran into my first snafu.
I've got the power head put back together, minus the exhaust port cover. I was very diligent about photographing and documenting parts during disassembly, however, apparently not while I pulled off the exhaust port cover. I do recall it being rather difficult to remove with thick gasket material and a metal plate in between. I assumed the metal plate was part of a two-piece paper/steel gasket when I was removing it, as it is presumably subject to high-heat on the exhaust port. Apparently, this was not the case.
I was rifling through the gasket kit getting ready to install the exhaust port cover and found 4 gaskets that appear to belong to it. This seemed odd, as I was expecting to have a two-piece paper/steel gasket. This caused me to look for a photo during disassembly, which is how I found out I didn't take any. Anywho, my heart sank when I remembered damaging and ultimately throwing away the metal plate that was sandwiched between the gaskets. The four gaskets still seems odd to me, as they cause the exhaust port cover to not mate properly on the block, but maybe the metal plate remedies that. Can anyone help me out with how the gaskets are to be installed, or where to find a reasonably priced exhaust port plate?
Also, it should be noted that I am doing this rebuild without aid of a service manual... (I know, I know... stupid).
