I was convinced the head nut sealing rubbers were in the gasket set but I can't find them so I am not sure now.
Anyone know a good source? Is DS the best place?
Also, I'm missing the 18mm washer that goes between the kickstart circlip and the case. 90451357000. DS doesn't stock these anymore.

Yes as long as the lines on the end of the cam are in line with the top of the casing, that's fine.
The pucks, if that's what you mean by head nut sealing washers, aren't usually in the gasket sets these days, I will have a look for the 18mm washer later.

Ah that explains it then. That would be great, thanks Julie!

I noticed last night that I've made a mistake. When I put the tensioner in I've missed the little groove it is supposed to sit in at the bottom. (facepalm)
From what I've read I'm going to have to remove the head and lift the barrels slightly to get it in place. Is that right?
If so, is that going to affect how the gaskets perform now I've already torqued the head down?
Nurse Julie:
The gaskets will be fine as the engine hasn't run.
