Gaskets and gasket compound

[briand2]

Can anyone recommend a good quality engine gasket set and compound? I know these old machines are known for oil leaks but I would really like to keep it to a minimum. Any other tips would be really appreciated.

Depends on which model and year?
I use grease on paper gaskets, blue hylomar for metal to metal gaskets and other types of gaskets.
Head gasket...nothing.

jb resorations on the internet has good quality gaskets.
brit bikes leak oil?
i have an oil leak from the speedo cable gear [poor design]but no gasket as i use wellseal between the gasket and face everywhere including head gasket and crankcase halfs.
