metal head gasket
« on: May 08, 2011, 08:26:22 AM »
I am in the middle of rebuilding the top end on my 500, this time I have a Kawasaki metal type gasket, can anyone let me know which way it is orientated?

cheers Jonny

 The smaller coolant holes in the gasket go on the side of the cylinder that has the coolant inlet port. (Right side, kickstarter side....)
