Default Harley Davidson Evo Top End rebuild

Im rebuilding the top end of my engine because the Bike sat around for about 2 years and im guessing the gaskets dried up and at turning it back up the gaskets blew. Now this is my delema, I have a Arle ness rocker box and im trying to find the seals for this. Cannot find them anywhere besides Arle ness which is super expensive. Also it would be nice if someone could tell me how much I have to torque the screws after i put everything back together. Thanks

The lower gaskets off any Evo will work, but if you need to replace the upper seals and unless someone will break a "set" of the Ness seals, you're stuck.

Exotic looks come with an exotic price tag.....
