HI FELLAS PROBABLY SEEMS LIKE A DAFT QUESTION BUT I DO KNOW THAT ON A TOTAL REBUILD NOT ALL THE SURFACES USE A GASKET AS SOME MATING SURFACES USE THE WHITE SEALANT.
OK I JUST HAD DELIVERED A FULL ENGINE GASKET SET BOUGHT ON EBAY AND ITS SEEMS THERE ARE SOME GASKETS SADLY MISSING ACCORDING TO THE REALLY STUCK FAST GASKETS I REMOVED WHEN I TOOK THE MOTOR DOWN.
THERE WAS NO CLUTCH COVER GASKET THAT WOULD FIT IT WAS THE SAME DIAMETER BUT NONE OF THE HOLES LINED UP AND THE GASKET BYPASSED ONE MOUNTING HOLE COMPLETELY!! THERE WAS NO WATERPUMP GASKET EITHER AND THE MAGNETO BACK COVER HAD SO MUCH EXCESS LENGTH IN BETWEEN THE MOUNTING HOLES IT LOOKED LIKE A SCENIC RAILWAY AND WOULD NEVER SEAL

CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW MANY GASKETS SHOULD BE ON THIS MOTOR AND WHERE THEY ARE PLEASE.

THIS IS WHAT I GOT IN THE SET DELIVERED
1 X HEAD GASKET
2 X EXHAUST RINGS
2 X CYLINDER BASE GASKETS
1 X GEAR SELECTOR CASING
4 X INLET REED GASKETS
2 X RESONATOR CHAMBER
1 X RIGHT SIDE ENGINE CASING
1 X CLUTCH COVER(DOES NOT FIT)

PLEASE DONT SUGGEST I REFER TO THE SERVICE MANUAL COS I BEEN THROUGH IT ALREADY AND IT DOES NOT REALLY SAY WHETHER A GASKET IS USED OR NOT IN THE DISASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY ON A FEW PARTS AND ITS NOT IN THE KR1S SUPPLEMENT THAT I HAVE.
CHEERS

If the clutch cover gasket does not fit then it's most probably for the wrong model as the gasket is different for the KR-1 and KR-1S.
The water pump gasket appears to be missing from your list.

Thanks for the reply fella someone is getting some “ear hole bashing” on Monday morning as it appears from what you say that they have sent me a set for the KR1S

THANKS AGAIN FOR THE SWIFT REPLY

Gasket guru is one of the better options
Teamed up with an OE head gasket from Virgie.
