What I did as remove the 8 head nuts, 4 cover bolts and took the cover off. Do not loosen the 3 remaining small bolts.Just remove the head and replace head gasket ?
I did not replace the head gasket. Worked out for me.

I know it was a disappointment but we’ve all been there. Luckily I caught mine before the head was torqued down. It didn’t make me feel any better but I used it as a lesson moving forward. Yea, sometimes it’s easy to be so focused on one thing you miss the big picture. (Raising hand)I’m gonna take a break here.
He did, post 82, I missed it too.And that my friends is why we post pictures.
That's how I'd play it. Long as you don't disturb either gasket... base or head.What I did as remove the 8 head nuts, 4 cover bolts and took the cover off. Do not loosen the 3 remaining small bolts.

That is what I meant. There are some sharp eyes here that prevented our OP from going deeper. Seems the rework is simple while the engine is out of the frame. This isn't a "happy ending" but I guess the OP is glad the SNAFU was caught early and no damage and less cussing is the result. I have not done any engine work except adjustments, carbs, clutch so I myself would not catch anything wrong in that picture.He did, post 82, I missed it too.
And have done the same before.
My apologies. I was not thinking on the same line as you.That is what I meant. There are some sharp eyes here that prevented our OP from going deeper.

We are all good here. It is fun learning some of these processes. I think I might be learning to write comments a little bit more clearly here too.My apologies. I was not thinking on the same line as you.
Sorry Kevin!
