I have the chip and am taking it to Jeff's in the morning. It was from the wreck in 87.

When doing the 1075cc kit last time, I filled mine with Permatex Ultra Black, high temp RTV sealer and used the one piece head gasket. I sprayed the one piece head gasket with the copper coat sealer on both sides, hanging on a coat hanger wire.... and after +4000 miles now.. and finally FOR ONCE, I have put one together that does not leak or seep at all!!!

missionkz Offline Sustaining Member Posts: 1622 Thank you received: 184	That looks like a tricky weld repair (without a machine shop line bore of the mains saddle.) Hope it works out with some relief, to not distort the bearing when it's torqued... etc. Bruce 1977 KZ1000A1 2016 Triumph T120 Bonneville Far North East Metro Denver Colorado
