Nice video, but as a mechanic I feel the urge to give you some tips for next time you do a similar operation. There is no need to use silicone gasket between engine block, reed valve and intake boot. Thats the whole point of the paper gasket supplied with the reed. The silicone just makes it a whole lot messier. Also its enough to have a tiny tiny bit of copperslip grease on the bolts. I prefer to torque them down dry with no grease as this is a place where the bolts is not in a high risk of rusting. But a tiny amount is fine to just get a thin layer of grease on the threads! 👍
the inside of the cilinder sits higher than the outside edge of the cilinder thats why you only see the gap on the side and not in the middle, when you tighten the bolts it will close the gap
