Kx500 head gasket cooling ports
Bcsnowbiker:
Great info thanks 👍
I was going to have the head machined down to tighten squish and have the dome cut to maintain stock compression but seeing that the 0.2mm gasket is available it seems like a no brainier to try that.

shouldn't be a problem.
mine ticked slightly in the midrange at part throttle when I wasn't running enough octane. gave me lots of warning to increase octane.
i have yet to find a point where increasing ignition advance or compression negatively effected power
Bcsnowbiker:
Thanks for the fuel info 👍
When I got that stripped screw out I saw my timing was slightly retarded. I will try at the full advance mark.
Got the cases split today and things look pretty good in there 👍
Tranny looks good.RH main bearing had a hair of play and it looked like the LH seal was just starting to leak. So only big surprises was replacing entire clutch assembly and it looks like I'm shopping for a clutch cover. The big dent on the outside has some cracking on the inside 🤬
