Title: Top end gasket kit
Post by: mlstoner660 on August 20, 2010, 12:46:34 PM

I'm getting my 500 engine rebuilt and my top end gasket set just came in and I was wanting to make sure they sent me the right one. Its a cometic kit part #415272 it has a stainless steel head gasket but it says its 88mm and I thought the stock bore size was 86mm. If any one can fill me in on if this is the right kit or not I would appreciate it.

 Hey Stoney,
 Well something seems awry alright... Here's the cometic website.
http://www.cometic.com/powersports.aspx
  Fillin the blanks and there is no kit #415272 that I saw.
Now maybe that is a # the reseller used. I'll keep looking... This is a 2000 K-5 right?
  The bore and stroke are "square" on a stocker 86mm x 86mm

All of Cometics "stock fit" gasket kits come with 2mm over head gaskets , so they will work with all of the standard and over bore wiseco piston kits that are available. The head gasket will work for you. CBX

stock gaskets are nice for stock builds. i use cometic for different thickness custom gaskets.
