bansheeyfz450 Posted July 24, 2011 Report Posted July 24, 2011 I hear cometic gaskets are the best... Where can I find them for between the cylinder and the reeds? Quote
dirtydownunder Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 they are decent. i dont know if they are cometic ones, but the reed gaskets ive had from wildcardracing and fast have been the cometic style, afm i think they call them, with the steel insert and rubberised coating. Quote
bansheesrtoys Posted July 27, 2011 Report Posted July 27, 2011 if installed correctly it doen't matter what brand gasket you use. Quote
camatv Posted August 4, 2011 Report Posted August 4, 2011 i prefer the afm whenever possible. they are also easier to case match than paper.. also on the base gasket they are less prone to have a failure. the OEM base gasket is reinforced as is a bunch of aftermarket gaskets. i know, tusk is and athena, the afm also removes much easier and wont stick and rip like the paper gaskets. wonder if cometic would make a clutch cover gasket out of that stuff hmmmm Quote
06specialedition Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 I've used Cometic and never had an issue. I think you get what you pay for IMO. Quote
dirtydownunder Posted August 5, 2011 Report Posted August 5, 2011 cam, i got a clutch cover gasket off of wildcard, and that was a afm type. Quote
camatv Posted August 18, 2011 Report Posted August 18, 2011 well do do me was it a cometic? i bet it had to be. Quote
252wheelieking Posted August 18, 2011 Report Posted August 18, 2011 Are these any good? http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp3984Q2em1439Q2el2649QQitemZ250862410445QQsspagenameZSTRKQ3aMEWNXQ3aIT Quote
camatv Posted August 18, 2011 Report Posted August 18, 2011 they are cheap paper. id steer clear of them.. even TUSK top end gaskets are a metal based material. and they are like 16 bucks Quote

dirtydownunder Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 it didnt come in a cometic package (it was actually loose on some cardboard.) but it looked just like a cometic one. Quote

Chariot Performance Posted August 19, 2011 Report Posted August 19, 2011 We cut our own gaskets with a die cutter and use the best interface solutions material available. We don't sell just gaskets but with our parts you will get a gasket that will likely be reuseable over and over again. Note that they are intake gaskets. Most gaskets you get are out of pf-4n interface soutions and that is because they are made on a leased cutting machine which only provides for that material. Pf-4n is the cheapest material you can get and although it is good material it is the cheapest from interface solutions. What we use is 3 times the cost but well worth it. Not to say that the metal based materials are not great or better but in the material we use holds up and performs properly for many millions of years. Yes, it is proven that this material was around with the dinosaurs and believe it or not was the same material alien aircraft is made of!!! Jerry Quote
