Dale, that's good to hear. I guess I can just look and ask about any damage to the gasket and if all looks/sounds good then it should be no problem, thanks. All the 0-rings are cheap enough to buy.

Personally I don't have an issue with using a good aftermarket head gasket, but when it comes to the base gaskets and o-rings, I'm with Ed, use only OEM parts.Last edited by rustybronco; 06-12-2012, 07:56 PM.

I have one of the Harbor Freight plug cleaners pictured earlier. Ran the same set of plugs in the Shadow for 6 years. I used it today to clean the plugs I pulled out of the 73 Yamaha TX750 project im working on. I use the air gun to blow the blasting grit out of the wells and the threads and they look good as new from the box.MY BIKES..1977 GS 750 B, 1978 GS 1000 C (X2)
1978 GS 1000 E, 1979 GS 1000 S, 1973 Yamaha TX 750, 1977 Kawasaki KZ 650B1, 1975 Honda GL1000 Goldwing, 1983 CB 650SC Nighthawk, 1972 Honda CB 350K4, 74 Honda CB550
NEVER SNEAK UP ON A SLEEPING DOG..NOT EVEN YOUR OWN.
I would rather trust my bike to a "QUACK" that KNOWS how to fix it rather than a book worm that THINKS HE KNOWS how to fix it.

Originally posted by Sandy View PostI take it from the -000 in the part number the rings are standard size. If Rob doesn't want them I'd like to be next in line. No rush in deciding Rob, I'd just like to have them in my parts stock.
Standard bore parts.
If Rob doesn't need them, Sandy gets them.

Rob, whether I make the rally or not, be sure to connect with me for some back roads you won't find on your map
On the way back, Tuesday will be TWT night at Mike's. He collects Kawasaki Triples and will have 8 mint ones by then. Plus, acres of dirt riding
