[QUOTE="reepicheep, post: 1376630, member: 104942"] On the KDX you can leave the head attached to the jug and pull it off as a unit (I LOVE two strokes), so the base gasket is the only one involved... and if that is in good shape it can probably be reused... as it isn't nearly as high pressure as the head gasket. And why replace the rings if you just pop it apart to put in the new circlips? I haven't heard that before. It'll be an interesting experiment. I wouldn't reuse circlips because everyone says not too, and they are so cheap to replace. I guess we will find out if that's still a real and valid concern soon enough ;). Did you orient the circlip so that the opening was either point to 12 or 6 o-clock? That might give you a little extra margin. You probably *can* reuse circlips. Sometimes. But other times you probably can't. The rub is that it is (a) probably impossible to know the difference reliably and (b) really cheap to put in new circlips. [/QUOTE]
