    Valve cover and clutch cover gasket thickness

    Hi Guys,

    I need the thickness of the OEM valve cover gasket and the clutch cover gasket as I need to cut them by hand.

    The clutch cover gasket is thin, so I probably will be OK with cereal box but if someone has a VC gasket laying around and has a caliper, I appreciate the info.

    The bike is a 82 GS850, but measurements from 650, 750 or any model 850 will work just fine.

    Thanks,

    Chris

    Ghey are all the same thickness far as the eye can see..but I dont think cereal boxes are gonna hold up very long. I nwould say that if you can source some 1/32 thick gasket sheets youd be good to go.

    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.

      Sorry I meant cereal box thickness not the material. I know that VC gasket is much thicker or maybe i'm mistaking!

        I just went out and measured a spare clutch cover gasket (unknown brand, probably from Z1) for my 1000G at 0.5mm. A spare Vesrah cam cover gasket from the 850's gasket kit measures 1.5mm.

          Perfect, that's exactly what I needed. Now I gotta go find gasket materials.

          Thanks a lot man.

              I'm traveling on the bike and no easy way of getting the gaskets to South America on a short notice.
