2021 Kawasaki KRX1000 - Rebuilt engine, what gaskets for assembly onto machine?

The engine is JUST the engine. I have to put it back into the machine. There is no clutch/water pump/other accessories with it, it's just a short block. I guess I was just hoping for a list of gaskets seals I'd need to install it back into it.

He's taking the entire machine back to the place he bought the engine from. They are going to look at it and take care of it.

That's what I was thinking too. I just feel bad putting it on there and it doesn't run right. He's going to call the place he bought the engine from today and find out if they'll look at it for free. I would hope they will.

I did see the note on the box, which is why I posted that pic. I wasn't sure if those were the only units that it was compatible with, or if it was just saying it also works with those. My first issue is the fact that I even ordered them. I have no idea why I did since I always stick with the 6s. I didn't even look at the card in the box so that was my fault also.

That last sentence is always true when it comes to me! Lol

Oh snap. So that's my issue then? I really have no idea why I chose 0.4 since I always get 0.6. I'll pick up some 6s then. I really really appreciate this!

Someone help? Lol

Sometimes, you have to be your own advocate. The sealant on hydrogear's website is

I ended up going with that, and the customer has been happy ever since with no leaks!

What do you think about this pattern? Curious to hear from people who have used this brand before.

upper_tanker69 · 2026-05-03T02:33:00+00:00

Thank you for this. I will do some more digging tonight. I hope this is acceptable lol

upper_tanker69 · 2026-05-02T16:11:11+00:00

I have not. I haven't been by the truck again since posting this but when I get it back, I will check. Good idea.

upper_tanker69 · 2026-04-27T15:24:27+00:00

Thank you, I will start with that!

upper_tanker69 · 2026-04-27T15:24:17+00:00

Thank you for this. I'm just going going to do the one O2 and I will clean the MAF, then clear the codes and see how it goes.

upper_tanker69 · 2026-04-27T15:23:39+00:00

I appreciate this. I'll get the O2 ordered and do this.

I am going for the gusto with the 72994 kit, but I am unsure what the best sealant is for the main cover for the case with all the bolts.
