1988 Kx500 head studs
« on: May 01, 2019, 03:21:11 PM »
I think I have an issue with my gasket but is it suppose to sit like this or does it need to be flush with the cylinder

I tried to answer your question on the pm but having technical difficulties.
That is not a 88 KX500 cylinder.
It is either a 86-87.
The 88 had straight studs.
The 86-87 had studs like your's.
If you want to know which year exactly it is, post a pic of the inside of the cylinder pointing at the main exaust port, but showing one of the side sub ports.
The four stroke engine: That's one stroke for producing power and three for wearing the engine out.
