toddyfresh Posted October 14, 2009 Report Share Posted October 14, 2009 I was gonna get a new head gasket for my banshee but it's bored out and I'm not sure to what degree. My question is will any headgasket work or does it have to fit the bore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blowit Posted October 15, 2009 Report Share Posted October 15, 2009 As long as its a stock cylinder the head gasket will work. That is of course unless there are big bore sleeves in the stock cylinders. It might be best to check the size on the top of the pistons first. 66mm is really the largest size piston you should use with a standard head gasket. The larger sizes will use a big bore gasket.

toddyfresh Posted October 16, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2009 what would be the best way to check? use a micrometer on the sleeve or piston? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers from the piston or measure the bore with a caliper. A caliper is not sufficient to properly size the bore but good enough to help you decide on a head gasket.
