Title: Which Ebay gasket set should I purchase?
Post by: Juan1 on June 01, 2012, 10:23:07 AM
I've got my GS running properly, and am now ready to deal with the many leaking gaskets.  Since the base gasket, head gasket, cam chain tensioner gasket and valve cover gasket are all leaking to some degree, I figured I'd just purchase an Ebay gasket set which contains everything I need.  Can anyone recommend a particular ebay gasket set?

Be careful of the kits found on ebay, there were several that I considered purchasing until I double checked what they contained and it still was missing several key items. I decided to pick them out individually through rocky mountain atv and it ended up being cheaper. Just my two cents.  :thumb:

Will an 89 - 96 gasket set fit a 1998?  I didn't think there were any significant differences in the engine before 2000.

I have 2 gasket sets. Both about $85 or so. Both are complete and very nice.
Athena
NE brand Super Gasket
Both have the West Seattle GS500 Club seal of approval.
