Athena gaskets

[Rimotu66]

Any good or should I stick to OE? I need a sump gasket.

Fiona walker used them in her undercrackers....I'd stick with oe

I've used Athena head gaskets in the past, nothing wrong with their quality. Since the sump gasket is the paper type, I can't see Athena making a fuck up of a pattern part. I have a genuine Suzuki sump gasket that I use to copy and make my own from 0.8mm gasket paper. Made a good few over the years and never had any give me problems.

are the Athena ones cheaper/more available/etc...or if you have one in stock I'd use it...'sonly a sump gasket.

Thanks guys, unsure on price, just getting a list together of parts to order, cant be arrised to make one given the low cost of a proper one, I will see what Robinsons charge with our discount.

 

Who's Fiona Walker?

Head gaskets and such I'd go with OE, lot of work to tear it down again if it fails.  Sump and clutch/starter/pickup cover gaskets, I've never had a problem with pattern ones.

Agreed with above, with casing gaskets o just use cheap and cheerful as theres not alot that can go wrong really

This is Fiona Walker. Athena's best selling poster of all time. Yes I know it's off topic but:

1. I never took it there.

2. I'm answering a question.

3. Admins make the rules blah blah blah
