It is correct gasket as you can see it has the inner metal compression seal for the combustion chamber. Thanks for you comment anyway ❤

​@stevesteel14 I saw comment that you think you fixed problem by just tightening head bolts more. So do you think you really need the head gaskets outside diameter over the tapered edge on cylinder head?

Really? 🤣 mines just gone and icl i have heard the rumours but i am still dubious. Ill maybe give it a go

Just depends if you have an external oil leak or it's internal. Could be leaking from a gasket and trailing down to the plug hole. However, if the oil is on the actual plug hole, then its internal. But if its internal, the bike would be smoking alot, if so that gonna be Vale seal or piston rings

I'd say any year, it's something I've allways noticed with most kawasakis, but any doubt then just do a top end rebuild and check piston to cylinder clearance. It's rare to get piston slap from a worn cylinder as most cylinders on the kdx/kx are nickel silicone carbide plated. So do not hone the cylinder or scuff it with corse paper or cloth.

Nope

Okay Mines is what could that be

And my engine idles perfectly but smokes white and leaks oil from the Exhaust

Valve stem seal... You'd have to take the cylinder head off, bit of a strip down really. But it would definitely be valve stem seals.

@@stevesteel14 or piston rings need to go

There's only one place oil can naturally come out of the engine, and that is the engine breather at top of the engine, if its not coming out of there, then yea its most likely gasket.

Hey im new to this stuff but my bike is leaking oil from the exhaust and its a 4 stroke​@stevesteel14

Your carb might be too lean. Check your spark plug and see if it looks too lean If you’re spark plug is showing it was running lean then clean all jets in your carb. If that doesn’t fix it then try making your carb run more rich.

@@shayjordan1899 could it still be the carb even if the carburettor is brand new??

@@connorjack3246 yeah it can, new carbs may need to be adjusted to your altitude and climate, such as rejecting

@@connorjack3246 rejetting*

I've read other comments and most likely the carb setting but, yes if the gasket is gone, it will draw in more air which will cause it to run lean, and would definitely make it hotter quicker as this happend to mine also, sorry for very late reply.

I think so, gasket still blew, and I put it down to the head bolts being to weak, therfore not tightening up enough, I was going to replace them with m8 stud bolts, but after I took measurements I thought fuck it, I tightened the bolts up so tight I was expecting them to snap, but so far it hasn't done it again yet.

So just by tightening the hell out of the head bolts it fixed it ?

could be more likely that your engine hasn't got much wear. if it was stuck I would say you'd notice a major lack of power

just the o-ring, it may of lasted a lot longer if I used a high temperature o-ring.

it certainly worked for a short period but the rattle did come back, however I take it as reassurance that the valve has not clogged up with carbon. plus I think the rebuild has gave my bike a quieter rattle. my honest opinion is that if you have a kdx, then just live with the rattle. thanks for the comment.
