Default Gasket sets

Looking for some inout on gasket sets for Evo motors...was looking at Ebay this morning and there are tons and tons of different companies. Is there anyone I should stay away from?

Looking to take down the top end of the motor...I appreciate any help

Several reputable gasket sets out there. Just don't go cheap. Never thought about shopping for gaskets on ebay. I usually go with a specific catalog from a specialty supplier and I also talk to the rep.

Didn't Harley Davidson change their EVO gaskets to like the Permatex so they wouldn't leak as bad? i though i read this somewhere...

Cometic are the better of what's out there and SOME of the James kits , those you have to watch the cheaper ones still use a lot of the paper type gaskets while you want the new tech with the metal / silicon ones .
