Please recommend gasket set 80 GS750E

[smokydog]

Hi all,

Thought I had my oil leak fixed but it is is still seeping somewhere. Have decided to replace all the top end gaskets.

Can anyone recommend the best gasket set for the 1980 GS750E and where to get it ? I went to the place I usually get suzuki parts and they dont carry one and individually I would have to mortgage my house to buy them, lol. I hesitate to buy just any set, I would like input on the best set to buy, not the cheapest set, the best quality set please.

I found this on ebay, does anyone have experience with this set ?

Do you feel lucky?

Do I feel lucky as in it might be a junk set or might not be? lol I cant get a genuine OEM set anywhere I can find, just trying to get your guys opinion.

Vesrah gaskets sets have a mixed reputation. Thought I read somewhere that there may have been "counterfeit" Vesrah gasket sets floating around.

Personally I'd clean it up and try foot powder to find the source of the leak. It would be a shame to replace a good head gasket if the cam chain tensioner is leaking, for example.

Hi Jerry,

I've posted extensively in the past regarding my experience with Athena aftermarket gasket. Not good. Brian Winger has posted similarly regarding his experiences with Versrha gaskets. Not good. Rapid Ray has posted his warnings again and again about using anything other than OEM gaskets for a stock rebuild. All this information is in the archives just waiting for you to search it out.

Sorry to be an A$$. I just get tired of repeating myself. Guess I need to spend less time here.
