Post Rocker box gaskets
I just got a new top end gasket set and it appears that H-D has changed from the fiber seals for the top cover to small metal, rubber lined, washers. Has anyone had experience with these, good or bad? I've got a '88 and seen them go from copper to fiber to these. If its better i'm all for it.

You'll like them. I've put on maybe 12 sets so far and zero problems but re-use is something I've not tried yet

Thanks, t150vej, I assume you still use the steel washers with the new seals.
