Default Gaskets info?

I have a question, decided to powder coat all parts listed below as I'm installing my 103 stage 2 big bore kit. Can anyone give me information on gaskets and I-rings besides going directly through Harley?

Primary Cover, Derby Cover, 6 Speed tran cover, top tranny cover, both lifter block housing, lifter cover o-rings, and cam plate O-rings

Please let me know if you have any advice!
Thank you,
Tony

Many builders & shops use Cometic or James gaskets. Various levels of motor kits are available thru Drag Spec, Cust Chrome, JP Cycles & other sellers of after market products.

Ive always had good luck with HD gaskets, tried James once and after 2 attempts to stop the leak went back to HD. But here is some real stern advice on powdercoating your engine parts (if you dont already know this). Make sure there is no PC on the insides of the parts that will be in the engine, check very carefully when you get them back for overspray, the stuff is like sand. I had that crap wipe out my new Feuling oil pump, cam plate, lifters and my reusable filter. Powdercoaters dont seal off much these days and the stuff gets everywhere.
