[Snowmobile Mike]

Sr Viper xtx se anybody use The SSI Gasket $12.95 + shipping from Black Diamond Extreme, I was thinking off it until they wanted $16.95 to ship .
So will most likely will get Copper gasket , what's best place and least expensive to get with shipping, stupid stock one is $26.00 bucks with shipping !

Ulmer,B.O.P. And many others for Copper. Or any Cat/Yamaha dealer for stockers.

I gottta think that would do the trick, I have one for the viper from BOP and that is about right. If its thicker than 1/16 of an inch its not by much, 3/32" would be max thickness.

If one makes a copper gasket does it need to be sealed with compatible sealant ?

 

[cannondale27]

I use silicone on mine but probably not needed.

Did you MAKE a copper gasket ?
I imagine you used High Temperature Silicone ?

Shmidt Brother racing has a nice copper … about 30 bucks by the time shipping cost is thrown in.
