Cruzinimage Gasket Sets

Just finishing off Alan's (MCTID) CB750K4 engine.

I have used a Cruzinimage gasket set, and may I say it will be the last time. It is cheap for a reason.

Most of the casing gaskets fit okay but they are larger than they need to be and stick out of the joints. The head gasket has gone in the bin as the dowel holes are punched too close together so the gasket won't lie flat against the barrels, and if pushed down crumples on the thin bit around the cam chain tunnel. There are no o-ring seals for the oil supply galleries to the head (4 off), nor any head bolt cover seals (Pontefract Cakes). The seal for the starter cover is too small. No o-rings for under the cam towers. Etc etc.

This has to be the most incomplete gasket set I have ever used.

Anybody else had this problem with the Cruzinimage kits for other models.

TBH I won't be buying anything from them .. heard differing reports so best stay clear in my book. I suppose I am as guilty as the next man in that we  are often prepared to spend a small fortune on paint, chroming etc but squawk at prices of Genuine engine parts.. I think OEM supplied parts are fine like ART pistons and Riken rings but to fit a dubious engine part other than these is spoiling the ship for a ha'p'orth  of tar ( well not quite that cheap but you know what I mean). Trigger will shoot me down in flames over this I know.

I got a first oversize piston kit from them for my hustler, £36 for 2 pistons with gudgeon pins, rings and circlips, they arrived within 3 days and seem fine, I got them weighed at work and they were virtually identical in weight , the machinist that did the rebore said the Pistons appeared to be well made,  I've had them in for 1k miles now, so far so good!, I did a fair bit checking on various forums and in the main the reports were positive but when people have had issues with parts cruzinimage would not respond to emails, thanks for the warning about their gasket sets Roy we can all steer clear of them for such parts.

RGP750:
That's reassuring i have a 750 set on the way 1mm o/s pistons
Trigger is ok with them.
I'll report back when they get here
