Guess I wasn't paying close attention when I ordered a gasket set for a yzf. Says made in USA on the box, but not too impressed with the quality. Getting past fitment issues, the sealant on the headgasket was not even, a little gummy in spots... Tried it anyway, first start up OK, 2nd cold start a little white smoke, quick peak in the radiator - sure enough coolant a little down.
I've used them all, never had an issue till Winderosa.
01 GASKET KIT B (COMPONENT PARTS) 001 $55.95 $49.24
- entire bottom end gasket set on 2012 crf 450 from a honda dealer in CNY.. you can find a better discount at other places if you have that kind of time..
pretty reasonable

$82.99 for a cometic full gasket kit. how much was the winderosa one? just curious
OEM or Cometic are the only ones I'll use.
Yeah that's quite a savings you got there.
You're so perfect, I'm sure you've never had a head milled before either. Only replace it with a brand new OEM one right?
I know from 35 years of engine building which components are good without having to ask strangers on an mx forum.
Cut your losses and order the good gaskets and be happy when nothing leaks or sucks.
Seriously though, I'm sorry if I came off a bit harsh, but I have low tolerance for those cheap knock off parts that ruin many an engine in the name of saving a few bucks. I don't blow my own horn but I do know what I'm talking about in this situation.
Shit + Shit = Fools Gold
TerryK, thanks for common sense. I will not work on a customers engine unless I am using OEM gaskets. Never had one fail, you get what you pay for.
