i say good luck finding one but if you do get as many as you can cause there rare as and you'd make some money selling them to everyone else that needs them. i had my twincam full rebuilt and the had to use the old gaskest.

i agree, good luck finding one. They are moulded rubber, which means it's hard 2 find any thing even close. Give up like i did and use the original one with plenty of silicone, my gasket was really shit and i wasn't happy about reusing it, but i had no choice. But if u do find anywhere thats got them put me down 4 1.

hehehe. good old silicone. works a bloody treat. yeah, i agree, pump the bastard with silicone - that will fix it good. and next time you need to take the sump off, wipe the gasget down with turpentine and resilicone it. hope that helps

I actually cut and shut a single cam rubber sump gasket. The back 3/4 are the same, but the front 1/4 is diff. The size of the piece that goes over the front oil seal is smaller than the single cam, but simply cut it and with some decent glue, glue it! Some bolt holes are different to at the front to, no major problem. Stuff paying millions for a new or second hand one! And no it does not leak on a motor that revs like buggery.
