Should I be using any type of gasket glue/sealer/maker on the gaskets while rebuliding the topend?? All the gaskets seem to be made of thin cardboard except for the head gasket which is metal. BTW this is for a 200X

Personally I don't like gasket maker and I don't like seeing it. What I have found is gasket paper which I buy at my local auto parts store. I stamp and cut out my own gaskets. The metal head gasket you will want to buy though. Some companies will sell complete top end gasket sets for your machine which will come with the head gasket, base gasket and o-rings. I would check denniskirk.com or parkeryamaha.com for those. A complete set may only cost you 25 bucks and is cheaper then buying them individually.
Anyone know of a new project machine for me around Wisconsin?

I have the whole Versah gasket set for the bike. I was just wondering if I should use something to adhere the gasket to the metal to prevent it from moving or if I should just use the gasket only..
