[QUOTE="DEANSFASTWAY, post: 452347, member: 31309"] KATOOMER : Ive also seen the late model KTMs have problems with the base gaskets slipping in the front at the water jackets . Like Mr TRUSTRUM says you should have the head skimmed but youll have to do it on a lathe as the KTM cyl head has a shoulder around the outside perimeter which sould be turned down as much as the face . Theyre like the only current bikesI have ever seen like that . You may want to check the cyl bolt threads to make sure they are not pulling out . A client of mine had this problem when the motor mount bolts loosened up and the cyl head stayed tight . Actually he just did a Top End on the bike and I guess the top mount was trhe only mount that was tight . The motor was literally moving around in the frame . The head stay was the only thing clamping it . Use new orings . How did you check the cyl head ? Has someone already turned it down? Was that on the 02 ? Maybe they changed the head design. GOOD LUCK [/QUOTE]
