No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationNot sure what you mean by "dimensions". Are you trying to cut one yourself? I don't think it will work.

Here is a set that contains the head gasket for a 1979 KZ750 B4.

Yes, I used it for my rebuild. The head gasket was good quality. The green "paper" gaskets were not good (the cylinder base gasket disintegrated in a few hours time) and the cheap cardboard valve cover gasket was crap. It's possible I got a bad set that was too old?

Problem is Vesrah does not make a full set for the 750 twin, but they do claim to make the head gasket which is their part HG 4014. have no idea if that is true.

Their web site says they don't make a set. If you got one and it doesn't fit, that sounds like they don't make a set for that bike. You can try the searcher here:

The head gasket is available as OEM on ebay and also in the Athena set.
