Hey salt, I have no clue about how to surface the head other than the easy way of taking it to a machine shop. And is it true about coating the new head gasket with engine oil at install ? Heard that somewhere.
This jewel hasn't run on quite a while. It has many new parts and the carbs have been gone thru recently. Will probably just get it to fire up and muff it for a few min, do the decarb, and recheck everything.
If i may ask, What is your tranny fluid procedure you use for the decarb. And is it as effective as the sprays and spark plug hole sprayings that everyone talks about.

Can understand ATF might help free sticking rings and clean cylinders up.
