Kx500 head gasket cooling ports

Bcsnowbiker:
They're tiny!
What is the consensus on what to do with them. Add holes, match to cases?

seems to work fine as is. you can jam a washer under your impeller to shim it out towards the cover. gets you way more flow. need to experiment a bit to shim it out but not touch

Bcsnowbiker:
But the cooling jacket ports on both the head and the cylinder match yet the holes on the gasket are less than a third there size.
What good would improving your impeller be if those hole restrictions are your limiting factor?
I will post pics of what I mean tomorrow.
