Thanks , about the gaskets!
No, I just meant a 1988 top end mounted on a 1986 bottom end.
I was pretty sure that it was straight forward but I needed check to be sure.
I picked up my top end today from the post office, opened the package to find out someone stripped the power valves out of the cylinder when I paid for the valves to come with it.
Kinda bummed. But I called and they are gonna send me a carb for free.
I now have to track a set down, which from what I understand are hard to find.
Anybody have any suggestions on the best place to find a set?
A carb is not worth as much as powervalves
A 88 top end is worthless without good powervalves, seeing that they are not made anymore,
how much did u pay for the 88 top end? and what did it included {i asume it came with the head as the 88head is completly differant to the 86
A 89on top end will fit 86/88 cases it just a matter of drilling a hole for the 3rd kipps idler gear
also make sure your 86 bottom ends is in good condtion , make sure there is no side play on the crankshaft, i usual try sideplay with a large flat between crank webs and cases
good luck
