timing cover gasket - red98 - 14-05-15
Anyone one bought a timing cover gasket recently ?.....iam in the process of painting my engine and I need 3 gaskets to put it back together, found the clutch and alternator gaskets but not the timing cover, can see it in full sets on ebay but a bit steep at £150....or do I use some gasket sealant ?

LOL.....you read my mind :lol......iam pretty sure if I clear my shed out I'll find a piece of gasket paper....oh yes,I am really that old :eek.......with a nice freshly painted engine I want a nice join between covers and block, I do have some black instant gasket which will do the job but can be a bit messy, dont want to mess up the new paint
.......I'll order the other two , mr kellog will help untill I find the third....

I have 3 or 4 different thickness gasket papers, the newest one is about 16 years old that I bought to make a new sump gasket on my Suzuki GSX750, one of the most cost effective things to keep in the garage if your old and mean like me

It is cheaper to buy the gaskets from your local Yamaha dealer than it is from eBay, I found that last years when I was buying gaskets.
