GS650GL valve cover gasket
Hi. Im looking to get myself a new valve cover gasket, since Im due to adjust my valves. There is a company online, <<Real Gasket Tennessee>> that seems to sell a very good silicon reusable gasket for 25USD, which seems like a good price. Only problem is, Shipping to Canada (In a big and light envelope probably) is close to 60USD! bringing the total price close to 90USD, which is not in my budget for one gasket. Question is; Is there a place where I could get good reusable gaskets without having to pay too much for them? I can find some paper gaskets, but since I need to open the top multiple times to adjust and test my valves, I would like a reusable one if possible.

Those Real Gaskets don't work well. When tightening the screws the gasket squirms out of position, and there is no clamp load on the screws, so they loosen. Bottom line: the Suzuki GS valve cover is designed for a flat, non-compressible gasket. Your best bet is to buy a OEM gasket, and use some grease on it before install, so it doesn't stick.Ed
