I bought a new gasket kit, where do these go?

Post by kilika2 »

Like stated I bought a complete engine gasket kit. I'm having trouble deciding where some go.

The orange rubber ones that are in the bottom left of the pic, I'm pretty sure are the gaskets that go between the block and the jugs. And the flat disk is radiator? But the copper (unless header gaskets) black rubber and especially the green ones I have not idea where they go. Unless I haven't seen them yet But I have the bike torn down to the crank right now.

copper: header gaskets.
little green ones: valve seals. the round black ones are for the water pump and the paper gasket is for your oil pump

Yep that would explain the green ones. I'm cleaning the valves and checking their specs tonight. Hence why I haven't seen them. And I would have thought they would have supplied a chain tensioner gasket but they didn't, good thing I didn't throw mine away.

I was thinking header gaskets but I wanted to make sure because mine were covered with enough carbon that I couldn't tell they were copper or not and I didn't try to stick a magnet to them.

I don't remember seeing the water pump ones like that, but I'll check again obviously when I get her put back together.

Thanks for the help.
Chris.
