fresh top end KZ200 still smoky

rings were indexed.

@Nessism thats what I thought as well. .

cylinder honed. Totally Agree on the mileage. but.... it is 42 yrs old. and I wondered if it was abused-ran short of oil or something in the "backyard bike" years.

Im leaning towards having gotten a bad head gasket too.... it felt thin plus I noticed this flat spot. shooting in the dark. lol Im ordering all new regardless.
