0.2 base gasket, anyone dealt direct with Athena Italy?, any experiences??

  1. As above, in final stages of motor reassembly, just wondered how they are to deal with and how quick they deal with orders etc...
    Or should I just have 0.40mm turned off base of barrel and be done with it...

    Thanks,

    Daz.
     
  2. Pretty sure Louigimoto in Bristol supply custom thickness gaskets? However when I did my 916 I had 0.2mm machined off the barrels so that I can use stock 1mm base gaskets for any future rebuilds. Recently, building the Monster I found that I needed slightly thicker for one cylinder and had 0.4 and 0.3mm base gaskets 'lying' around so I used one of each to get the squish spot-on.
     
  3. Thank you for that Dukedesmo, rang them today and the gaskets/shims should be in post now, very helpful and knowledgeable people they are at Louigimoto.

    Thanks to you both.

    Darren.
