Engine Gaskets

[shamus]

Anybody know where I can find a gasket set for an xs360? In the midst of my engine rebuild and would like to have them before I'm ready to put it all back together. Finding a set is proving more difficult than I anticipated.

Google gave me this.

From my very limited experience, the only difference in gasket kits for different capacity xs bikes of the same year are the cylinder head and cylinder base gaskets - all the rest appear to be the same.

Another option is to just get plain sheets of gasket paper and cut them out. You might need to use copper for the head gasket though. But it would be much easier to find a kit.

So georgia cycle depot is having difficulties returning my email. I think I'm clear on the differences between the 360 and 400 engine, but correct me if I'm wrong. I can use all the gaskets in this kit with the exception of some on the top end gaskets, correct? You guys think it's worth buying this just for the ones I need and if need be source the others elsewhere?

The cylinder base gasket should probably fit but really only 1 way to find out.
