Thank you kindly for the offer, though I have no need for the sleeves.

Mikaw, they're all yours!

Mikaw they are yours .By the way i just found your fantastic project tread in your signature.Not had time to read all but have several questions about the tires and rims.I just bought a set of vintage looking tires ,but they did not look as i expected.I will post another tread about that

Are these seats lappable?




...and these 72.5mm ID sleeves potentially borable to 74mm minimum? 

She still loves me  

Hi Daveo, difficult to tell from the pics but I think a 75mm (1170) bore will clean the cylinders (I hope so, I have a 1088 A2 block with one cyl that looks similar for my build)
I think the seats would lap (eventually) but a couple of issues, firstly by the time you are done you will have palms like a teenager who just "discovered himself"  but more importantly the contact band between the valve and seat is likely to be excessively wide, when you are going to this much trouble a 3 angle seat re-cut would make sense

HAHA and i can add that add that it is a chance you will get a tennis elbow i did and it got so bad that had to go to ER my hole arm swelled up and got red.Stll hurting after 4 weeks .So take it easy when lapping.

I can sympathize sort of...my polisher's elbow improved some once I got chromed, but it never went away entirely.

 

 

Those multi-layered head gaskets are part number 11004-1119. I have used those head gaskets on my 73mm early model motors for years without any problems. I have around 230~240 cranking pressure on my motors. And I only use 30 pounds max head torque too and never had any problems or leakage!!!!

I open up all of those vent holes between the cylinder bores as big as I can. Its a lot of work, but the more air flow the better!!!!!!

Acquired an 84 ZN1100 motor and I have a few questions.
This seems like a good place to start.

Not sure I like this Kawasaki 11004-1104 gasket, though I've had good luck with the fiber type.

What could have caused such a failure?
