NE gasket set, do I need thicker o-rings?

(1/6) > >>

SteveW:
Just doing the base and head gaskets on my 650. Got a gasket set from Silvers NE brand.
Wasn’t there something on here a while ago about using slightly thicker o-rings instead of those in the kit?

Bryanj:
Original gaskets contained asbestos and because that added strength were thinner, idealy a slightly thicker O ring at the head gasket would be better with new stylr thicker, non asbestos gaskets.

SteveW:
Thanks Bryan, the existing o-rings are 5 x 2.4. Would 5 x 3 be okay?

Seabeowner:
Hondaman suggested an imperial size I think that I converted and noted down as 5.6 x 2.38mm. The actual oil feed channel I measured as 4.83mm.

SteveW:
wouldn't I need thicker than the standard 2.4mm?
