what brand gaskets last the longest?

[motorcrosmaster]

hi everyone, i am replacing the .50 over vitos piston thats currently in my quad with a .50 over wiseco piston. the rings on the vitos piston broke and killed the piston. i wondering what brand gaskets i should buy. i was going to replace the head and base gasket and possibly the exhaust gasket as well.

SCD racing gaskets. They're handcut out of Felpro gasket paper and then soaked with yamabond 5 before being installed. They're nearly nuclear bomb proof and currently being used on every SCD racing built engine, even a dragger!

In all seriousness, the cheap vesrah/vito's/K&S "green paper" gaskets have been known, on occasion, to suck in and create a massive air leak potentially endangering your engine (if your quad is currently being piloted by "brick thumb" awk). Cometic or OEM base gaskets are your best bet. Head gaskets are *as far as I'm aware of* all about the same and ALL intake gaskets stink. The real difference is that base gasket, like freek said.

OEM or Cometic for the Blaster. I have them both in stock.
