Gasket

[Swiss Toni]

Is this gasket the correct fitment for GS110- crankcases? It seems to be obscuring the oilways. Both sides the same.

Looks correct to me. Oil is coming up from holes on the intake side, goes up around intake side head stud, to the exhaust side through that passage under the gasket and there up around the exhaust side head stud. Take a look on the cylinder block and you should see how this works.

One potential problem with that kind fiber / paper gasket is that over time it may get squeezed into oil passage restricting the flow to the exhaust side. I have understood this is the reason why Suzuki switched to metal base gasket on EFE engines.

Is it OEM?

Was it cheap?

@BigTIt’s Suzuki.  Came out of a full set. Cometic base gasket in its own is slightly cheaper than OE. @ArttuI also have a metal base gasket, but it looks very thin. That’s why I previously posted to ask if they were laminated. If it was your choice, which would you use?

Either will be fine - Cometic do good parts so no problem there and IMO unless compression is a big issue, i'd use the metal shim steel one, purely for the gallery blocking problem (but does take a fair while & use to occur) I thought the problem was particular to the OEM 'paper' gaskets - can't see it being a big issue with the Cometic type!

Thanks boys!
