Thank you bytio, do you have a link to that thread as I cant seem to find it.
I called DSS and PACRE racing, both of which say they build their engines with the NE Brand gaskets without any problems.
I really don't want build the engine twice but the honda gaskets are extortionate, I have an OEM seal kit ordered, and have genuine guide seals, its just the gaskets. I've already spent more than the bike is worth with this crank up build.
All new bearings, shells, alloy cam chain tensioner, primary chain, cam chain, dampers, slippers and guides etc etc.
Maybe as Ive gone this far I may as well buy the genuine gaskets.
Thank you
