gasket thickness

[bigballz400]

anyone know how thick OEM honda case gaskets are?? like how many thousandths of an inch

bc i kno different gasket makers use different material , i have ordered a case gasket and it was offly thin feelin to me, was jus curious to as if anyone might know

i put cases together with yamabond only and the cases were too tight on counter shaft, so i orded a gasket, it free spins now but was still curious to the thickness of the case gasket or any of the gaskets, base gasket ect..

Im not sure since I dont have one laying about to measure. Had to guess, the paper gaskets are slightly thicker than a regular plain jane 8x11 computer paper.

found a piece of the old OEM case gasket its .0205 or .021 of an inch........the newer gaskets i got r right at .019

I think thats such a slight difference it shouldnt matter.

Ive never had clearance issues and i dont use a gasket

idk i put it all back together with no gasket and the counter shaft was hard to spin.....so i broke them loose thought i did something wrong
tryed again
samething so i bought a gasket
broke them apart for a 3rd time, put in gasket in,its much better but still feels rough compair to another one i have beside it........the clutch shaft spins fine and the crank spins fine jus kinda weird once it has pressure on from sides its rough once pressure is let off it spins free who knos maybe it has a bad bearing in it.......worse case, ill have to tear it apart again........its just a spare motor but kinda bugs me

has the motor set up without being oiled for a long time ,maybe it has some dry bearings and just to make sure i under stand you are you thinking that your jug cylinder is coming in contact with the counter ballancer?

Ok, I was confused ,your talking about your case gaskets i thought you were talking about the jug /case gasket, ignore my stupidity!
