Base gasket with big bore sleeves

[Soul Man]

Have a big bore Lamey cylinder (oversized sleeves). I always have to trim the base gasket to make it fit, and that's a PITA.

Are there any base gaskets that will fit with a bored-out sleeve? Would a gasket from a 760 fit better???

Thanks, tried to search but couldn't find anything about this.

The 701 and 760 base gaskets are the same.

Just trim out the stock gasket with a shape razor blade.

Come on man, cutting that gasket should not take too long! How often do you rebuild your engine? Have a beer or 10 while you marvel at that amazing functioning art, called a Lamey cylinder. :headbang:

I used a Cometic copper gasket and opened it up with a sand paper roll, worked awsome.

hmmmmm, Base gasket that I used when I put my motor together did not require opening up any......... But dont ask me what kind it was........

Yeah when its written on the piston with a crayon you can be pretty sure they are fake.okey:

OK, I'll cut them. GOt an e-mail back from Paul Lehr saying same thing. PITA since my pistons are already on (not to mention cylinder and head....)

PS: Big plug for the Watcon leakdown tester! My base gasket AND intake gaskets are leaking. Probably saved me about $1000 to find out now\ rather than my old-fashioned way.

I am pretty sure cometic can custom make you a gasket if its a problem,they also do custom size head gaskets and spacer plates ,their prices are very reasonable,I think I was quoted $32.00 for a 7mm stroker plate.

I thought there was one that fit

DmnifIknow couchers are too cheap to buy big bore setups.

Check with Randy at Watcon, I know he has some big bore base gaskets, just depends on what thickness you are running.

Ya either will work.

I think you are thinking of 61X 701 (smaller sleeves) versus 62T 701 (thicker sleeves).
