no need to remove the radiator. there is no gasket on the rocker cover. remove it and clean the sealing surface then slide it in a circular fashion over a piece of fine sandpaper on a flat surface (sheet of glass works well) and see if the surface is flat. if not, keep sliding it til it is. seal the surfaces with a very thin layer of rtv sealant. (very thin). also take note of the tiny o ring that sits in the left rear of the head. don't reassemble without it. readjust valves as per the info in the "owners doc" at the left margin.

As above but also check the tightness of the breather attachment, this is screwed into the head and if a little loose will weep down the front of the head.
