    Looking For Images of Gaskets

    Hey yall. I'm hoping someone out there can help me out.

    I have a 1982 GS650E that needs pretty much all new gaskets. I would like to cut my own on my die cutter, but I haven't been able to find proper images online of the gaskets.

    I was hoping someone out there has a set and they would be willing to take some good photos of them with a ruler by them (metric side up please).

    I'd be happy to make you a set of gaskets as well for the trouble. I can even cut head gaskets if you're good with using copper.

    What gasket material are you thinking of using? The OEM gaskets, like base gaskets, side cover gaskets, and similar, used a thin but firm material, covered with some sort of clear sealer/shellac material. Valve cover gaskets used a thicker material. Still firm, but not coated. Most aftermarket gasket materials are not a match for these materials. They tend to be soft and spongy. And a copper head gasket is sure to weep oil. The old type head gaskets are thick graphite composite material, and the newer versions are MLS. You can't simply cut out a gasket like this.
