Thanks, I'm from northwestern pa in the US. I pulled apart a couple motors and matched up different brand base gaskets and noticed that they didn't quite match up the same. One looked like it was blocking the ports a little. I'm actually putting this motor together myself and am just trying to get some ideas on gaskets and whatnot. Steve told me that they used a .060 gasket but I thought that seemed kind of thick with the 25cc domes. I only really plan on taking the motor to a builder to get the clearances checked. Thanks for the help dirtydownunder
