Finally ordered the gaskets! ... had some problems with the Cometic site, it seems like it didn't work with my non-US credit card? Although it's supposed to work with some billing address magic that the card company does. Sort of by accident I googled the gasket part number "C3244-EST" and found a couple of hits on Amazon by chance ... got the complete top end kit for $48.12 shipped! It's $61.31 excluding shipping on Cometic's shopengineparts.com site. The full kit includes head, base, exhaust gaskets, valve stem seals, cam chain tensioner O-ring and crush seal, and rocker arm O-ring. Nice!
Comes from Amazon shop "ehgoods" which are these guys afaik: ILion Parts Store
I already had a reply form belgium importer with price and what they need from me.
It would be 454€:unsure:
And have to supply them with a lot of details of my bike and specs/dimensions of the stock rod (they send 2 forms in attachment) .
If I look at the parts from ktm the rod comes as a kit with bearing inside ready to go on the crank I guess if I order carillo you have to look for a bearing also for inside the rod???
Than its over 150€ more expensive can't wait to long to decide either because of the long delivery times I will think about it in the coming weeks
Re. the failure and oil circulation etc - IF mine has failed, I still haven't gotten up off my sad depressed arse to check but getting really close though - anyway, if mine has failed, I'm pretty sure it was just bad and OLD oil. It was sitting for 1.5 years before I bought it and I'm an IDIOT and didn't change the oil immediately.
then resding my answer didn't make you feel any better then?
strange...
