oil leak

Cleaned and dryed the cases, sprinkle powder all over, then started motor and looked to see where the oil tracked the powder.......also washed the motor 4 times this week trying to figure this out and now milky oil in sight glass....so dropped all the oil and going to remove filter and get it all cleaned out....

Veshrah and athena brand gasket kits on ebay.....either one better or stay away from both?

I think you are right, I have a similar oil leak and no compression on the #2 cylinder even with oil in there.

Once you know you got good oil on there, the sight glass will get milky looking if you dont go for short rides. The motor doesnt get up to temp long enough to let the motor evaporate the moisture.

Any advice on a gasket kit and if all the kz1000 tach seal kits are the same? Thanks again

My secret for sealing any paper gasket no matter who its made by,dont use on head gaskets (unless theyre copper,yours wont be)

Stupid question....how exactly do you use this along with a paper gasket? Thanks

Spray down both sides of paper gasket and let it tack up before installing gasket

Patton- when i put my specific model in they do not show a gasket set or tach seal kit.....what am i missing?

If its a cable driven tach. then i think they are the same 77-80 kz 1000s. They quite using cable driven tachs in 81 or 82 so not sure what yours has.
