Hi!

I just want to say a word of caution regarding the Vesrah gaskets. I used two head gaskets from Vesrah on my F and none of them sealed properly, leading to a slight oil leakage from the camchain tunnel.

Not very fun to rebuild your engine just to have tear it apart and swap the head gasket. And then do it again with an original Honda gasket...

The Honda gasket did the job.
Some investigation revealed that the difference in thickness of the fiber part vs. the metal ring closest to the combustion chamber, were much bigger on the two used Vesrahs than on the new Honda gasket. I know for a fact that I torqued the head down properly. I proceeded to measure the thickness on the fibre part and it was considerably less on the Vesrahs than on the Honda gasket. Can't remember figures now, this was three years ago.

Of course I won't say that I didn't mess something up on the two Vesrahs, but the procedure when I put in the Honda gasket was exactly the same, and that gasket sealed properly.

As always, your mileage may vary...
