Re: Brighton Kawasaki

Went to the auction today. Quite sad to see it go but snapped a couple of items at least.
Wish I could have bought the Kawasaki signs but they went for too much $$$

Re: Z900 Valve Clearance issue

Just an update .. When I last left this thread I'd already ordered some new valves and seals from Z1 Enterprises (love these guys!) but thanks to a little muck up it got shipped Priority not Express like I asked AND somehow ended up in Mexico for a few days and then ...

Re: Z900 Valve Clearance issue

Well I took it down to mates workshop he measured up the valve heights and yep they were all very high, I don't have exact measurements on me but they were either just on max or over spec

He said at a glance the seats don't look surprisingly too bad but did say there had been a bit of butchery as ...

Re: Z900 Valve Clearance issue

Right or wrong, there was one completely seized (stuck open) exhaust valve, the stem was bent/warped and it had to be belted out. I was informed that a couple of others were not in good shape either so that's why all exhaust valves and guides were were replaced.

Re: Z900 Valve Clearance issue

Thanks for the help all. I agree the seats appear to just be refaced than replaced.

I pulled the head back off again tonight, going to take it down to an engine builder mate see if he can help measure up a few things for me.

Few pics attached FYI.

I noticed that all the Exhaust valve stem ...

Re: Z900 Valve Clearance issue

Thanks for the replies so far I'll answer what I can

The head work was done best part of a year ago, I only just got around to unwrapping it and putting it back on so I am not sure what sort of information if any I will be able to get from who did it (3rd party, a bike shop sent it off). The person ...

Re: Having a crack at aluminium brazing (ok it's soldering).

Had my first go at doing this today and have come to the conclusion that i just cannot get sufficient heat into the metal with propane, am going to likely have to go and get a MAPP torch tomorrow. Annoying.


Exactly my problem too.. I had a crack at doing it on the weekend (same type of rods) no ...
