I could not find a replacement, the original g5’s used a composite material. After doing much research I found that the late 80’s ke100’s used the same crank case numbers but the rotary valve disc was now a thin metal material, probably stainless. With a new rotary valve cover, and collar, they bolt right up. Make sure you have the rotary valve in correct, I didn’t and had to tear the engine down again. As the connecting arm begins it’s upward stroke, the valve should begin to open! <a href="http://photobucket.com" target="_blank"><img src="http://i116.photobucket.com/albums/o3/rock_krawler/kawasaki%20restoration/CIMG0400.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a> The old style is on the left, the new style on the right. Big difference in design but….. [/QUOTE]
