BASE GASKET BLOW OUT
monster malibu:
Hey guys, I just replaced my bikes topend and the base gasket blew out. The cylinder was tightened and checked after the breakin period. I was wondering if anyone has had this problem with Cometic gaskets. The base gasket looked real thin, but I used it anyway. I'm going to buy a Winderosa topend gasket set in the morning.
stewart:
was the gasket all paper or metal with paper on both sides,,,,, how thick does it mike
monster malibu:
The gasket was all paper. I can't believe the new gasket blew out already, the bike has an hour total run time on it after getting a new topend.
fluffy:
i just replaced my base gasket and head gasket with factory ones. no problem, other than the head gasket was 42.00 dollars and the base was 8.00. base was just hard paper.
kaw rider:
gasket meterial is key to no having problems. i know the buttom of cylinder is not flat. I only run oem gaskets.
