77 kz650 cafe resto

i have aquired a 77 kz650 that has been pasted down through a grape vine of friends and made it to the point of dissasembly, i got it as a basket case and by trade working in the auto body profession, i thought i would paint everything and slowly assemble it and so far i have painted the frame, engine, swingarm, gone through the forks, i have gotten to the point of assembling the motor and had a few questions and if anyone had any tips, the head has been ported and flowcharted by an old drag legend back in the day so im assuming everything was done right but wanted to make sure.......

Welcome to KZR, your project looks good so far. What was your question. I put the motor back in the frame before putting the top end on, it's not to heavy to do by your self.

mostly just wanted to make sure i wasnt missing anything in the head because i wanted to finish the motor up, can u tell if the head looks complete by the picture? thanks for the help in advance:)

Might want to check out the parts diagrams in kawasaki.com ---

Lots of good info on kawasaki.com, including parts diagrams, part numbers, models sharing same part, availability, etc.

Here's a link for help with navigating the site and finding information.

Thought there was a downloadable KZ650 FSM around here somewhere, but not seeing it at the moment.

Good Fortune!

Got the flow numbers for the head?

Could check information articles in "Filebase" under "KZ Information" in the green ribbon toward top of screen.

From what I can see you need shims and buckets and cams. I would plastigauge the cam towers too.
