it's an easy job.
remove the head bolts. remove old gasket and use a straight razor to clean any residual gasket material from gasket mating surfaces.
install new gasket, install head
-Always use a new Head Gasket
-Tighten the bolts in sequence and in two steps of torque
CAUTION:
Coat the bolt with LOCTITE (572, white)
Bolt:
1st: 15Nm (1.5 m-kg, 11 ft-lb)
2nd: 30Nm (3.0 m-kg, 22 ft-lb)

Yup, good answer. If you've done head gaskets on a car, you'll laugh after you do it on a 2-stroke.
