parts needed for top end

[jrnolan]

I have my 1996 kdx motor out and will service the kips, new piston if needed and rings.

Is there a kit that you can suggest to take care of the o'rings and gaskets I will need for this top end job.

Thank you in advance for any help.

The big internet places sell top end gasket kits, which are cheaper and easier then the Kawasaki parts.

For the rest, Eric Gorr sourced all my parts when he did my big bore and replate. It was a Wiesco piston, rings, small end connecting rod bearing, wrist pin, and circlips.

moose, athena, or cometic gasket kit. You can get just the top end kit, but you might as well get the complete gasket kit. Don't forget the wrist pin bearing.

Thank you. My intent is to not "forget" any parts that are needed, just like julied-d said. Are there any other "don't forgets" that are not included in the gasket kits, like the oil seals that the kips main shaft runs through? Any others?
