gasket

I think I'm losing a little oil from the gasket on cylinder 3 (according to Haynes manual, rear, right). I've cleaned it all up today and will apply talc when totally dry to verify that's where it's coming from. I'm questioning exactly what needs to be done to replace it. The Haynes manual...

As I have to split my cases to fix my 2nd gear on the '00 Max, I've been wondering about the possibility of making my own gaskets rather than dropping $$$ on all the required ones. Does anyone know where to get the sheets of gasket material in order to do so, and what the cost of these is...

I have a little bit of oil leaking from the front cylinder's head cover gasket (both sides, just the front of the gasket nearest front tire). As seen in the attachment, right at the #28 and again on the opposite side of the engine. Initial speculation from dealer is $400 to replace gasket. Do...

The Haynes manual instructs you that the head gaskets have to be placed in a certain direction, the OEM ones have the word "HEAD" printed on them and this should be facing up. However, the head gaskets that came in the gasket kit I bought have no words or marking, leading one to conclude that...

Hi all: I'm in the process of re-building an area of my 1986 Yamaha FZX700, and am having lots of trouble removing a VERY stubborn gasket. The gasket is located vertically within the engine oil pan in an area that is nearly impossible to reach by hand, and this gasket has likely never been...

I am replacing a smashed stock muffler set with a good used stock set (I want to keep one of my '05s stock). The replacement mufflers have the silencer gaskets in them but some are in pretty bad shape. I have reviewed all 21 pages of exhaust postings but found nothing about these gaskets...

Does anyone have a good place to buy OEM replacement parts? I'm looking at $25.00 for a valve cover gasket which is fine, I guess. But the rubber mounts are $7-$8 ea times 16...YIKES!!.......Is there a trick to refurbishing them maybe?? TIA.

My Kerker 4/1 pipe is looking dingy. Thinking about removing it, prep and paint with engine paint (500 degrees). When I put it back on should I use the old gasket or get a new one? If I have to take the old gasket off is there any special way of doing that to make it easy or does it just...

Just noticed this morning that the rubber gasket behind the left crankcase cover cap is warped, just for about 2 inches on the very bottom of it. No oil is leaking out, it just looks like crap. Ordered a new one, but wondering if it is a warning sign of potential engine problems or probably just...

Hey guys, getting ready to tear into the carbs for cleaning and was wondering if when I remove the jet block is it neccessary to replace that gasket or can it be reused if it come off intack. Thanks

What's the best product to apply to the head gaskets when installing? I'm using OEM gaskets. Both the motor I tore down and the heads I purchased had some sort of black, silicone like, material on them. I figured you guys would know what works best to seal the heads to the block. Thanks Paul

So I'm replacing the gasket on my right side crankcase cover. I had the cover off to install a decorative centerpiece, let the old gasket ride and sure enough it leaks so, ordered two new ones (a spare is handy), drained the oil and popped the cover back off. J.F.C. So an hour later, after...

Hey, I've got a question. I'm wanting to replace a gasket on my bike. It's the one under the cover right next to your left foot. I noticed a couple months ago that it was weeping when warm at the upper front corner. I just dabbed a little silicone on it to stop it. Now it's time to change the...
