Title: XBR Gasket query
Post by: guest833 on April 20, 2010, 03:46:43 PM

I am getting someone to do the cam chain problem on my xbr. Can you reuse the tinlike rocker and head gaskets?

Cheers

John

I have reused the head cover to head "tinny gasket" on several occasions without problems but always use a new cylinder to head gasket as they squeeze up and the laminated pieces separate.

Hi John,

Davidsilverspares seem to be the best price at £16. Part number is 12251mk4602 (best check that it is the same for your model of XBR) :-
