	Its a fairly easy job, by removing the two Horizontal bolts you can pull the assembly out from your cylinder This can be a bit of a challenge if there is alot of carbon build up on the valves. Then clean off the old gasket from the valve assembly and cylinder and clean off the carbon from the valve I usually use a wire wheel to clean off the carbon deposits and finish off with some break cleaner. You can remove the vertical bolts from the assembly and inspect the rubber diaphram for damage Just remember to reinstall with a new gasket between the assembly body and cylinder.

	oven cleaner works well, just don't forget about it. I have heard stories of it eating some of the aluminum. a good beer drinker isnt a picky beer drinker Loggers....

	I think a wire wheel will scuff the surface making carbon build up much quicker. Also use a good quality synthetic oil (not polaris ves, dirty). I use amsoil with good luck, but some dont like it. 99' XCR 440 (GEN II) 96' YAMAHA YZF 600 Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

I agree, I never use anything like that because those tiny scratches you can barely see cause the build up. and once theirs a scratch, it builds up much quicker and its harder to clean it out of the cracks and scratches. 2005 Polaris Switchback 600: SlyDog PowderHound Ski's, SLP Air Box Mod, V-Force 3 Reeds, 144" track fully studded, Powermadd Pivot Riser and 4" block, Polaris Hand guards, Rating: 0 Quick Edit Full Edit

I use amsoil with good luck, but some dont like it. Wire wheel works well, just don't get carried away, let the wheel do the work. A semi syn works well also. No need for an expensive syn oil when a blend does just as well.
