Reply To: Paper thin gaskets

[Bob Wight]

I’ve never had new gaskets that were as thin as what you describe.   When I only needed a single gasket like a base gasket or head gasket I’ve usually ordered them off Ebay.  When doing a complete powerhead rebuild, I’ve typically bought a complete gasket kit from Vintage Outboards.   Never had any issues with either source.   Doug at Vintage Outboard also offers individual single gaskets if that’s all you need.   His gaskets are very good quality.
