How are the Vertex engine gaskets and oil seals, compared to oem KTM? Just as good?

OEM is almost $300

A Vertex kit is $95

Hard to justify spending 3x the amount if they’re comparable, but i will if necessary.

The risk of a gasket failing with cheap kits is a lot higher. If youre OK with that then buy the cheap stuff. At the very least i would buy OEM for head/cylinder/right side case/waterpump gaskets. Thats the kind of stuff that is more expensive to replace than to just do it right the first time.
