350f head gasket help
« on: October 26, 2012, 10:40:32 AM »
So, I got my bike back after loaning it to a friend for a few months and now need to change the head gasket. Probably not his fault. I checked with Honda since I thought they still had head gaskets available per an earlier thread on this site. Honda said the gasket is not available. Can anyone confirm that?  Anyone know of other places to buy the head gasket separately?

I did order Honda seals for the front corners of the cylinder to head interface since the units I got in the Vesrah kit are already leaking after one year.

Thanks,
Camelman

Just had all new gaskets put in my bike.  Couldn't get Honda parts.  Did get a complete aftermarket kit.

I wouldn't look for a head gasket by itself... you'll pay more than its worth.
I found complete and unopened Honda NOS gasket sets for my 350f on ebay for a cool 20 or 30 bux a few years ago.

I just noticed that DSS is now stocking NOS 350F head gaskets. Not cheap, but they're the real thing.
