[QUOTE="dadof2racers, post: 1085533, member: 60441"] hey guys, i was planning on rebuilding to top end in my sons rm 65. i got new gaskets piston ect. but some how the base gasket got bent in the bag of parts.It was folded right on over. I tried to straighten it out but it still has a slight mark were it was bent. my question is should i just throw it out or will it be ok when i put the jug on it and tighten it down?..oh it's a metal gasket not a paper gasket. second question. on another bike KX 65 i had a friend replace the crank and bearings,i replaced the rings but i didn't have new gaskets at the time,My son needed the bike to race the next day so i reused the gaskets..well i looked over all the old ones i had and used what looked the best. it starts ,idles fine revs up good on the stand but seems to bog in the top end, powerband when being rode. tried rejeting,moving the clip on the needle, even swaped out the carb and reed block from the other bike. tried different gas ect but nothing would seem to eliminate the top end bog. I did notice that it used a little antifreeze in between moto's . so my thinking is in high rmp's a little antifreeze is passing between the base gasket and is tring to burn it with the gas causing a top end bog. is my thinking correct or em i way off base here. i know a little about 2 strokes but not sure about this problem.
