For sale Z1E-096063 a relatively early Z900-A4 engine. The barrels cowards are complete and turns over easily on STD 66mm bores. Complete with all covers, starter motor , alternator, points. The head is removed but does need going through in detail as several cam caps threads need inserts, valve gui...

WGP242R was one of my early restorations. It was the first engine to go through Steve Smethurst’s cleaning process way back. I spent so much ££ on it that the missus insisted I sold her.

Does anyone have the genuine Kawasaki Z1000-A1 piston ring compressor I could borrow/hire for this weekend?
Must be the original workshop tool.

Done this a few times exactly as described. Make sure you get the hi-gloss version of the sleeving.

I’ve restored a few Z2’s. Yes 0.004” would be the point of a rebore.
If you use IMD pistons/rings these are made from superior materials and the bore would be skirt OD (measured at right angle to small ends) + 0.0015-0.002”.

PopsA1,
Cheers.

I ordered a set from here Sat and arrived today.

Has anyone found a supplier for the O ring 16038-009? This goes on the bolt that provides access to the main jet on a Z1.
Ridiculous price on ebay & all the usual suppliers are saying it’s NLA.

Cheers

I’m replacing the pistons on an A4 at the moment and found that the ring that should retain the concertina dust boot is missing in both.
Q. Are these rings available anywhere?

I can see they are available for the Z1 range but not sure if they will fit an A4.

I’ll take one if still available.

Gone one now -

Thanks Darren but they are different.

Cheers Mike

Looks fantastic

Does anyone have a camchain tensioner going spare?
Don’t need the spring or tensioner rod.
