    Top end gasket brands

    In keeping with my never-ending stream of questions I'm doing the top end of a KLX 110 what's the general opinion on the type of gaskets to use can I use like comedic or is it smarter to go with genuine Kawasaki? Or some other choice?

    An OEM head gasket is all of $8. Throw OEM at it, and never think about it again.

    You won't need any sealant/treatment/goop with an OEM head gasket. Clean your surfaces well, install gasket dry, torque to spec, enjoy a long happy service life.

    I was just joking, sorry, this is a serious thread.

    I agree on OEM
