Do any other years fit in the 74 frame? There is a motorcycle salvage place just up the road. I purchased a second 74 engine for parts. :woohoo:

That guy is you. If you have any mechanical ability at all, you can learn to do about anything, so I have been told. Ask lots of questions in the appropriate technical sections and you'll soon become an expert on your own bike.

ANYHOW
I feel your pain! I have a KZ400 myself. ('75) I rebuilt mine once and it leaked oil almost as bad as it did when I started.These bikes were notoriously difficult to make oil tight.
