Re: stopping gasket leaks
23 Oct 2026 08:17I have had issues with those oil passage o-rings from from aftermarket kits not being thick enough. Measure the head gasket thickness and the detent depth. Make sure the o-rings will be compressed.It's possible that the oring is leaking in between the head and the cylinder. Taking the head off isn't that hard if you know what you're doing, just follow the manual. The main issue is getting the camshafts back in time. You'll probably need a valve cover gasket, cylinder head gasket, and the two orings. When the head is off is a good time for a valve job!
After several attempts to fix a head gasket leak on a KZ305, thicker o-rings and copper head gasket spray finally did the trick.
