How Many Rocker Case Gaskets Does the Engine Use?

What Does the Rocker Case Gasket Seal?
The rocker case encloses the upper valve-train area at the cylinder head. Kawasaki 11060-7001 provides the sealing surface between the rocker case and cylinder-head area on compatible FH engines.
If the gasket deteriorates or is damaged, engine oil may seep around the rocker-cover sealing surface.
When a rocker cover is removed during valve or cylinder-head service, inspect the gasket and replace it when required by the applicable Kawasaki service procedure.
11060-7001 Is Not the Head Gasket
Do not confuse the rocker-case gasket with the cylinder-head gasket.
The head gasket seals between the cylinder and cylinder head. The rocker-case gasket sits farther outward and seals the rocker cover.
The two parts have different Kawasaki numbers and perform different sealing jobs.
11060-7001 vs. 11061-1285
Kawasaki currently sells several different rocker-case gasket designs.
| Part Number | Typical Application |
|---|---|
| 11060-7001 | Select earlier FH-Series engines |
| 11061-1285 | Select later FR, FS, FT and FX-Series engines |
These part numbers should not be treated as interchangeable.
Use the gasket shown for the exact Kawasaki engine specification.
