    the sleeve looks like it was installed wrong. its to low. it should be even with the top of the cylinder. do the ports line up?

    you would need to have the studs removed and have the cylinder decked to be even with the sleeve. then the head should be cut , recesed so the piston doesn't hit. but also keeping the compression and dome angle correct.

    putting a thicker or more base gaskets will change your port timing.

    might just be easier to have another sleeve installed correctly! or get another cylinder.

    when the cylinder is tightened down, does the sleeve move up, to be even with the top of the cylinder? i had an rm like that, where the sleeve would move!

    i only readthe first page!! so i think this has been covered already!! lol

    the sleeve dont move, the port line up well, and if it's low the port timing would be off, so the spaced base gasket would probably correct it.. i don't know hopefully i get this other cyl.

    Hey 2quick, you're not stil looking for a stock flywheel are ya? I've still got one that is on one of my motors and I picked up another bottom end this weekend with a flywheel on it. Haven't yet pulled either one of them so I don't know the condition of either one...

    why do the coolant holes look so small on the gasket as opposed to the coolant ports on both the head and cylinder? maybe ristricting flow and causing enough pressure to make it leak? dont know, maybe im just tired and seeing things.

    Wow, some food for head gasket thought in this thread. I guess I've just been lucky up til this point in having whatever I used work. Come to think of it, I've never used a torque wrench on a wheeler or bike topend....so I've been real lucky.

    2quick,

    I'd be interested in the troublesome KX cylinder if you snag the other one. Just let me know.

    My god what a shitshow this has turned into.....

    Use some silicone and tighten it with a 1/2 breaker bar about 2 feet long - problem solved

    WTF good is OEM or Vesrah or Cometic if the i9s all on a different surface??

    the coolant holes are suppose to be like that. it's not getting hot a boiling the water, it was getting compression/combustion pressure in the coolant cause the overflow to spew constantly, i think i have it this time. you could totally see it leaking through the 10 grit scratches that the machine shop charged me to do, i know i wont go there again...

    Try a oem gasket or another aftermarket with some copper spray, torque down nice and tight and try it.

    My pilot and 350 odyssey needed extra torque... just used hands and went in criss cross pattern
    Nothing to ride... for now

    Permatex copper spray a gasket. I use it and buy it local auto store Autozone.

    I use a short box end wrenches to over tighten things so I don't have too much leverage.
