Anybody changed a head gasket on a RRSP?
Hi
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where to buy (or where not to buy) a top end gasket set from? I've seen prices from £70 - £150. Is this a reflection on quality or just greed?
Also, mines a '95 import, were all the RRSPs the same, regardless of year, British and import?
So far the cheapest is from goodgear.co.uk at ~£70
Cheers

Rev
i supply fzr400 genuine parts and top end gasket is about £65.00 and you only need to do the top one for this is the main one that stops the water from getting to your barrells and vice versa.....
For an actuall price and to include postage call me on monday 9 - 5pm on 07971 360 193 and you get the parts less 15% of the retail price...
and yes i have replaced the gaskets on a rrsp for mine is a 1992 3tj2 model and is the same as the 3tj1 except for the cam springs and the gearbox ratios.

Re: Anybody changed a head gasket on a RRSP?
i changed one last week, problem was i never had a new one so i used gloss black spray paint on the old one and it held up ok. (really gash but it did the trick till the con rod snapped..)
lajracing, do you supply new sp rods/crank and rings etc? or are these now getting obsolete?
