Top end gasket kit

[DRedel]

Where is the best place to buy a gasket kit. I need it from the base gasket up. I called local yamaha shop and they said 130. Flea bay? Or does anyone know a better place. Thanks. Dustin

gasket kits

dustin, fwiw i'd get the oem Yamaha gaskets. on this forum and many others you'll find far too many stories of cheap aftermarket gasket failures. some perhaps a little annoying 'cause the engine still leaked a bit of oil even with the new non-oem gaskets installed but some of the stories, mine is one of them, are about how a cheap gasket failed and ruined an engine. the total cost to repair my engine was over $400 (plus my time to rebuild the engine) because a cheap head gasket that save me about $20 when I bought it came apart on a road trip (in the middle of death valley at 108 degrees, by the way). again, just my opinion. good luck with your engine work.
