Big bore head gasket

Post by Buck » Wed Mar 25, 2009 4:48 pm

I have located some 63mm pistons for the 305 Hondas and would like to use them but need a head gasket to use with these. Anybody have a source for these oversize head gasket?

Try this guy. Auction has ended, but nobody bought it. there's also a guy selling copper head gaskets on ebay, also a good way to go.

I've had good luck with Cometic for custom applications. They may or may not seem pricey, I never compared, because it was always for some non standard application.

Did the 63mm piston happen to come out of a XL 185?
Thanks

The pistons were in a truck load of parts I bought. They are ART pistons and marked 3.00.So no they are not 185 pistons. Thanks

Buck, I have 2 sets of those same pistons. They come up on Ebay from time to time. I have a cylinder, and the 3.00 pistons out at the machine shop . I need rings for the second set, let me know if you have a spare set of 3.00 rings.
