Base gasket and oval o-rings must be OEM Suzuki. Other brands have earned a reputation for leaking almost immediately.Dogma

I may be mis-remembering but I think Dale is right. For sure, on the 8v models the base gasket and oval oil passage rings need to be OEM. The head gasket maybe not so much and I've had mixed luck with case cover gaskets. Vesrah kits are mainly what I've used and once I tried an Athena brand and promptly threw it in the garbage because the things were so poorly cut the base and head gasket wanted to buckle because the cylinder stud holes were off. Not by much but enough it wouldn't lay flat.
On the 8v like yours I'd definitely spend the dough on OEM.

So I'm having difficulty identifying OEM Gasket Sets.
I don't see OEM mentioned on any of the links I provided above, nor on Z1 enterprises
(eg http://www.z1enterprises.com/Gasket-...-Set-1994.aspx)
Can anyone provide some links to OEM Gasket Sets?
US or UK, but UK preferred.
thanks

You can email the fine folks at Z1 with specific requests. If an item isn't already on their site, that only means they don't have it in stock ready to ship. They can get all the same OEM parts as the other dealers if you ask for it specifically.Dogma
