Just wondering if anyone has any comments regarding this flexoid oil resistant paper for making gasgets.

Planning on getting the sump off this winter and having it vapour blasted to tidy it up a bit and as far as I know it's probably it's the  original gasget, I re-used it last time I had the engine out 20 years ago to replace the cam and primary chains.

I have roll of old gasget material but it contains asbestos so not keen on using it.

Regards
Dave.

Careful which gaskets you make, Honda work the gasket thickness into any clearance required, hence why using liquid gasket dont work

Good point, 750, 400 have paper whilst 500, 550 have O ring

Thanks, I have heard about the problems of using too thin material on the clutch cover causing the kick start to bind a bit, don't see any issues with the sump on a 400?
