Hi.

Does a KZ750 Twin -79 cylinder head fit an -83 engine? Thank you in advance.

Regards/Jan

yes. the only difference is the later heads have smog ports.

I don't know, but the 83 Twin valve cover & gasket are shaped to fit over the cylinder head smog orifices. and by comparing the 750B stuff, it appears to me that the earlier valve cover won't block those openings. I could be wrong. But the 750-4 non-smog valve covers have blocking ports over the cylinder head smog orifices.
Scandinavia, I would compare the valve cover & gasket at Partzilla. eebbaayy pics can be handy for stuff like this.

Just an fyi. except for the Kawasaki clean air system, I'm pretty sure the 750 Twin engine is pretty much the same thru the entire model run. If you do any searches on KZR, your ears should perk up when you see any replies by bountyhunter & steell. Those know quite a lot about the Kawasaki Big Twins.


....

martin is right. you will need a non smog valve cover as well

I misread the topic post & kind of goofed. I thought he was asking about the cylinder head cover only. doh.

Hi.

Thank you all for your answers. Fortunate enough, I live in Sweden and those bikes here and back then, they didn't have a smogport system. I also have valve covers from both -82 and -83 models, so i think I'm in the ballpark.
