If you value oil tightness I'd use OEM Kawasaki gaskets. Get the part number off Partzilla or similar, then hit ebay to look for a deal

Z1Enterprises.com carries oem parts, so search the oem part numbers.
Their prices are competitive, sometimes as good as or better than other places.
Since their recent change, they don't have everything categorized by model anymore, so you can't just search by model --- you have to search the number.
