IB CO engine gaskets

Does anyone have any experience with the IB CO engine gaskets? A complete set is $30 while a complete set on Z1 is $60... what is the difference? Doese the $30 difference make that much a difference quality wise? Then if you buy OEM it is so much more expensive

Thanks guys!

Never heard of them. What is the source for your price? Is IB the name of a company?

Yes I do believe IB CO is the name of the company and it is a buy it now price off of ebay. The z1 enterprises price is from the website.

Yup, he weren't lyin'

So no go?

Anyone ever used these?

I never heard of them either. Doing a google search apparently they employ about 20 people, annual sales 3.6 million dollars. In business since 1984 in Long Beach. They must be well known somewhere, those aren't your basic fly by night company stats. Give them a try and see what you think. I'd say they would be as good as any aftermarket gasket.

Then I think I will buy the whole set for the $30 because I am going to definately need the top valve cover gasket. And it wouldnt hurt to have the other ones as well if something happens down the road. So I can buy a complete set of aftermarket engine gaskets for $30 plus shipping or buy the top valve cover for $10 from z1 enterprises.

Sounds like they have been in business for a while so I will try and find some reviews or something and then let you guys know what I do.

Thanks for all your help!!!

Thanks I have tried several times I am trying to find a full set of Gaskets for mine and havent been able to. I have been buying parts here and there to completely rebuild my KZ750-M1 wont do it this coming year I can get another good season out of it so will be pulling the motor next winter.

Heard of them many years ago. Might be a very old set. I probably wouldn't want to use the valve stem seals.

why would you not use the valve stem seals, Jay?

Thanks
