Preffered Gasket Kit?

Post by Widow Maker »

Is there a particular engine gasket kit that you guys prefer for CR500s? I'm in the market for a complete kit for my '86 and wanted to know if there is a preference for one kit over another.

The best set for you is an OEM full set #061a0-ml3-406, it has the 3 layer steel 1987-88 head gasket thats superior to the fiber 1985-86s, cost is 34.18 at service honda.
It does not have seals or copper washers in the kit. Center gasket is the same as 85-86, just trim 1/4"off the gasket once its assembled.
