Author Message   Chrger68 Posted on Friday, July 17, 2015 - 01:28 am:        Hello I have a 2000 Buell X1 that I'm getting ready to tear down I need a complete gasket set is C9758F the correct one?   Two_seasons Posted on Friday, July 17, 2015 - 05:52 am:        If you have a parts manual, take it to your local HD dealer and do a cross reference.   Hootowl Posted on Friday, July 17, 2015 - 09:06 am:        I'd go aftermarket. Cometic aren't that much more expensive. Complete as in you're splitting the cases?   Chrger68 Posted on Friday, July 17, 2015 - 12:59 pm:        Yes old case is damaged so complete tear down. What about C9855F with .03 head gaskets?   Phelan Posted on Friday, July 17, 2015 - 01:03 pm:        Aa mentioned above, I'd go with Cometics. I used a Cometic top end kit with my 1250 build. I've pulled the top end 3 times since and reused the gaskets with no issues or leaks.   Chrger68 Posted on Friday, July 17, 2015 - 01:40 pm:        I'm thinking of trying the Cometic C9855F with the .03 head gaskets. Anyone had good/bad luck with switching the std .04 head gasket for a .03 head gasket for a little higher compression?   Hootowl Posted on Friday, July 17, 2015 - 02:20 pm:        You have to KNOW your piston to valve clearance to use the .030 gasket. Not think you know. Know. Pistons and vales work well together, but you should never let them meet each other.   Chrger68 Posted on Friday, July 17, 2015 - 07:49 pm:        Yeah I've done some research online on setting your squish gap seems pretty easy. Going to pull mine first and see what is in there previous owner has done some work on it.   Phelan Posted on Friday, July 17, 2015 - 09:01 pm:        If you have Thunderstorm heads and pistons with .497 cams, you will have plenty of clearance for .030" head gaskets.
