How do the cylinder walls look?

[jaybrown]

ok also looking for the carbs as well

[jaybrown]

cylinder walls are in great shape

[Travis]

GOOD! Might go ahead and get a new piston, Looks scored pretty bad from the pic im seeing

[jaybrown]

does the 450 kawi 450 bike motor have the same carbs as this motor?

[Travis]

Be sure to replace

1. Vavle seals
2. piston rings
3. crank bearings
4. bearing in the cover case
5. check the cylinder head for cracks

[jaybrown]

the piston is scored but not that bad i think a new set of rings and it will be ok the valves and cam all look good where can i find a shop manual for it so i can see how this motor all goes back together?

Go to  Kawsaki.com, AND go to there Owner center, they should have a PDF of it.

Does the cam have a compression release?

Are the valve guides even>

[Travis]

Do you have any Assembly Lube? and loctite

Here is the manual that i use, same company,

https://www.amazon.com/Kawasaki-Service-Repair-Maintenance-1988-1992/dp/B00JDNA8SO

[jaybrown]

valve guides look even i dont have lube yet as i want to get all the parts first and not sure about the cam compresion release

[Travis]

One thing, the score marks on the piston (S) IF YOU CAN HANG A FINGER NAIL, YOU NEED A NEW PISTON

[jaybrown]

i will check and post pictures this weekend

[jaybrown]

[jaybrown]

here is the motor number i think the ltd 454 parts will work

[Travis]

Why are you looking for the other parts, not for the OEM parts for that.

[jaybrown]

nothing wrong with my crank case

[Travis]

Oh, I  though i sent you a link to cylinder head, in case it was cracked. Hmmm

[jaybrown]

cylinder head is great what does the pipe look like from the head to the muffler? is it a y pipe or header?
