My '98 S3T needs new rocker cover gaskets. What brand should I buy? I want something that will last so I won't have to change them again. |

Revperry, IMHO the three best gaskets out there for rocker boxes are cometic,James gasket and the O.E. Harley gaskets. I would have to say which one you choose is a personal choice because they are all kinda close in price, cometic is usually the most expensive but I think they are the best, however they take a little getting used to. Some of the cometic kits I have used require you to slightly stretch the rubber seals to get them to fit properly. I think the cometic instructions may give slightly different torque values as well. James gaskets are very good also but also have a few tricks. The stock harley gaskets are very good as well and are very easy and straight forward in putting them on. One thing is the same with all of them get all mating surfaces as clean and free of oil as possible for the best results. hope this helps! |
