Great gaskets. Good quality. James gaskets are great. Always use them. Something else that is great. Romans 6:23. For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. A free gift of eternal life. What a deal!
Well actually I haven’t installed it yet but I have used James gaskets and seals in the past and have never had a problem with them. I am sure this gasket will be fine. It looks good and I try to always use James products. And remember, For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Jame's gasket have been a good choice since I first started working on early model Harleys and late model from flathead to twin cam you can't beat them. There is only one gasket I prefer from Harley over james and that's the outer primary one. James will have a better outer primary gasket soon enough for the late model outer primarys!
