FOUR L 0 head gasket
FOUR L 0 head gasket
Can you still get OEM head gasket(s) fm Yamaha in Canada - if not, what's the next best source without mailing costs equaling the value of the gasket? Recall Jon saying solid copper one's were the best. Thx in advance.
Re: FOUR L 0 head gasket
yep, a forumer got me some the other month.
I dont think i said copper ones were the best... different Jon perhaps?

Re: FOUR L 0 head gasket
Perhaps. Was it Ben and what did you finally purchase?
Re: FOUR L 0 head gasket
Still available in the UK so I'm sure your local yamaha dealer can supply one.

Re: FOUR L 0 head gasket
HG gone.. already?
Copper proved a piss poor choice in my experiences.
But.. your experiences with the things may or may not vary. Living Is learning.
Have seen , or thought I saw, Repro LC gaskets mfg'd.. Just like RZ gaskets.. ie: out of 3 layers of thin Metal .
Now that would be worth trying imo, as Aftermarket RZ style HG s work every bit as well as OEMs
Also being the 3 leaves/metal style the things are not the ridiculous 2 mm thick fibre monstrosities Yama foisted on LCs to cover their warranty exposure asses.

Re: FOUR L 0 head gasket
To be honest the fact theyve survived until now is amazing, this is a part that only fits the LC (one for each size, 250 and 350) if Yam decided to discontinue it now then im not surprised.

Re: FOUR L 0 head gasket
Get your barrels O-ringed, then you never have to worry about a head gasket every again. :)

Re: FOUR L 0 head gasket
For the barrelled O rings - is there a head pattern/recipe for that move on a previous thread? That appears to be the logical move for ultimate squish.
Re: FOUR L 0 head gasket
Most people talk about O-ringing the head but milling the O-ring groove into the top of the cylinder barrel makes more sense. Solo2 did ,Ind and I'm sure he could explain how it is done.
