I am beginning the reassembly process on my motor. I had ordered one of the "every gasket" sets. To my surprise, it does not contain "every" gasket! It does not have the gaskets for the oil passage check valves (Part part number 14051-003) on the bottom of the case :o :evil: . I just had to cut my own. Not a problem, but kinda pissed me off.

If you have a later model triple, gaskets are an issue, but Vesrah gasket sets are the best get for a re-build, they are O.E.M.

Thanks for the replies. I used the Vesrah kit and was missing these. I've already cut my own and am good to go. I was just frustrated to have to do that when this was the "every" gasket kit. I won't spend more money on another set at this point, but thanks.

It's a "every gasket set" for H2/A, not B/C as far as I know.

You are not really supposed to take those off, so that's why there are not gaskets in the kits.
