1982 KZ750E Top end rebuild checklist.

06 Jul 2017 11:46 - 06 Jul 2017 11:47

Here is a quick photo of all the parts I have collected so far to perform my top end rebuild. Am I missing anything? (Besides rings, still waiting on those, as well as cam end plugs as mine are new.) Thanks ahead of time.

Also, would an engine rebuild progress thread go into engine or projects?

There are some other O-rings. A couple for the cylinder studs. I'd rebuild the cam chain tensioner so there are some seals involved, and get a new seal for the tach drive along with the O-ring.

Thank you for the reply. I have my tach blocked off with a fabbed up block off plate. As for the stud orings, I have a metric kit of orings that I intended to compare fitments. If not I suppose I'll be looking for that part number.

My cam chain tensioner is a manual type, although I intend to inspect the guides as well.
