This post is planned to be another on-going series as I reassemble the top end of the KZ650, all the way through to eventual start up. I’ll document in some detail each major step of installing the major components; cylinder, head, cams, timing of the valves, shimming of the valve clearance, mounting of carburetors, etc.
This first video in this series discusses the cleaning and preparation of pistons, rings, engine base and cylinder before the cylinder block goes back on.
