Complete engine gasket set suppliers?
« on: March 27, 2019, 05:50:33 PM »
Working on my fourth and final CB750 SOHC and need an engine gasket kit preferably with the cylinder stud packers/seals.

Previously bought from Cruisin Image, but prices seem to have gone up alot. :o

Vesra ref is VG-157 and hoping to find a set at sub £50 delivered  8)

Any suggestions

I used a Vesrah Kit, from D Silver, I think, which had everything, including seals, O rings and rubber pucks that I needed, however on the strong advice of the sages on this board I used a genuine Honda head gasket, which was visibly much higher quality, with a 'sticky'coating, and you don't want to take the engine out again if it fails.

Mine came from CMS, I'm afraid the price will make your eyes water, though, over £100 with VAT and carriage.

You won't find a VG-157 under £50. You will find them a tad over in the states but, with P&P and customs you will find one at that price in europe  ;)
