Hi all,

I first off want to recommend www.dgy.com, or DGY Motorsports to all of you for replacement parts. Their prices are very reasonable and shipping wasn't too bad.

Alright, here's my question, I received my new base gasket from DGY, and it was an orange-yellow color. All the others have been the dark gray or black color. Can someone tell me why that is?

Also in case anyone is looking for Hylomar, Permatex is now distributing the 35ml tubes. I found some at Advance Auto.

seriously? It's an OEM gasket. Should I use it or use the black one from the Vesrah kit?
 
If its OEM, I'd use it. I've read of many horror stories with the Vesrah gaskets.
Do a search, there is a long thread about them.
 
Use the OEM, no matter what color it is.

Suzuki has improved gasket materials a few times over the years -- you'll notice that the part number is slightly different. Obviously, the color is irrelevant.
 
i'd only use suzuki base gaskets... in the uk cometic are a popular choice for cases and top end.... but even the pro engine builders only use oem base gaskets... they're not expensive and the quality is far better. plus it saves ripping off the block a second time to replace a leaving cheap version ;)
