You will have to remove the both the head and cylinder to do it. I duct tape 300 grit wet/ dry sandpaper to an old 1/4" thick mirror I have. Use water to keep the sandpaper from getting loaded up with aluminum bits. Refresh the water often. Move the part in a circular motion, reversing direction often, or in a slow figure 8. Be carefull to press down squarely and true to the gasket surface. Do not rock either part at all, or you will end up with a surface that is not flat all around.
I just realised that I have read that some cylinders have a raised lip on them. If yours does, do not lap it. Only do the head.

| | Re: no head gasket took it for a spin today, found out i had a bigger leak than before, but i fixed it by tighting the bolts a bit tighter. after i gutted my pipe i could easily hit 60km/h, but after a week or so i noticed that the top speed started going down about 1/8 km/h everytime i took i rode it work and back. right before i took out the gasket my top speed was around 55. now i can hit 60km/h easily once more. i just hope that it stays that way. |

| | Re: no head gasket i must say i really like the performance im getting now that the head gasket is gone, top speed is optimal now, and im getting a bit more low end torque, not as much i'd like but its getting there. |

| | Re: no head gasket 37.5mph ~= 60km/h
im just going by whatever my sh!tty-wok speedo says, 60km/h displayed is probably less irl. however ive had it pegged at "60km/h" and kept accelerating even more after that, so i figure 60 is a good guess. |

| | Re: no head gasket hold on, let us not mock those prepared to experiment...
for longevity the secret is to avoid under-revving and over-revving the 2-stroke. |
