Default Engine Gasket Kit?

I have a 97 Wide Glide. Its leaking oil pretty bad. I want to order the gasket kit so I can go through the engine but I do not know what size the engine is. I know it is an 80" from the factory but I've owned stock 80" bikes and this is not stock. It runs neck and neck with my buddy's 103" deuce. What do you think? Should I tear it apart first and then order the parts? I assume its a 95" big bore kit but kinda worried I'll get the wrong parts.

Don't assume anything. Ordering parts you don't need will at the very least cost you shipping and a re-stocking fee.
Take it to someone who knows what they are doing.

thanks. thats the direction I was heading. It's too much of a setback if I get the wrong parts and the bike is torn down already. I was only thinking 95" because I haven't seen people make the evo a 103.
