...................leave the card, reinstall & tighten your upper and lower bolts on the coil and use some red locktite.......................



...............remove the card your gap is set...... spin the flywhell to make sure there are no high points were it might make contact with the magnet

you probably wont get a spark at all if your too close or to far away
I dont see a head gasket its under the head:D no seriously... paper has a coating on it.... it absorbed oil/gas
