Head Gasket?

26 Jun 2008 16:55

Hi I'm in the middle of putting my 78 KZ650SR engine back together. There is a head gasket on e-bay for $25.00 listed as NOS Part # = 11004-1005. When I look in the Kawasaki Parts Diagrams the PN is 11004-1107. Does any one know if the e-bay gasket will work?


Thanks

Thanks JMK

I've found another reference to the 11004-1005 PN
Fits models:

Z750 1980 - 1983
Z650 1977 - 1983
ZX750 1983 - 1985

Part number:

Supercedes 11004-1107

How can the same head gasket be used for a 650 and 750?

When you bore the cylinders do you still use the same Head gasket?

Just checked the Kawasaki parts diagram for a ZX750-A1 (GPz 750) (1983)and it lists 11004-1107 for the head gasket.

Looks Like 650's and 750 use the same head gaskets. Is this right? Can any one confirm this?

KZ650-C1 (Custom) (1977)
KZ650-C2 (Custom) (1978)
KZ650-C3 (Custom) (1979)
KZ650-D1 (SR) (1978)

ZX750-A2 (GPz 750) (1984)

Looks like the same gasket was used extensively for both 650 and 750 engines. Looks like the e bay one might work.

This may not be much help, but I compared the 1005 & 1107 photos at bleablay - they sure look the same to me. And doing some cross-ref at Kaw.com, it appears that they are interchangeable.

Also, FYI, NOS does not necessarily mean it's a genuine Kawasaki part.
It might be a good idea to get verification. JMK.

EDIT: although, since they have the full part number, it's probably genuine Kawasaki.

Not necessarily.... the thieves at Fleabay know how to use the lookup engines too. I bought some NOS valves with the exact kawi part numbers in the ad and they were aftermarket. same with a set of pistons, exact Kawi part number, not a Kawi part... but the parts did fit OK and I am using them.
