Just FYI.

Great Price. Shame they weren't 1st Gens.

Babbitts has 2nd gen for $20.45 and 1st gen for a couple bucks more. There are guys on ebay right now trying to get $58 + shipping for a set. I'm glad 2nd gen will work on an 86. That will be my choice if it's easier.

That $20.45 price is for a SINGLE Valve cover gasket. You need two to do the job. With shipping, you'll be $50.00 into the two gaskets.

You guys might ask Kent (V7Goose). He was getting them for like 17.50 a piece from his local dealer.

I just picked up another set (2ea.) on Ebay for $22.50. With shipping it came to $27.45. So far all the suggestions here about where to get them are way over that....??? Unless you need them in a hurry I'd suggest waiting around for them to show up for auction on Ebay.

Will 2nd gen gaskets work on an 83 VR?

 

I know the 83 model year had some differences from the later years.

2nd Gen Gaskets are easier to use on 1st gens.

Yeppers the 2nd gen valve cover gaskets work fine on the 1200 1st gen. I bought a set for the 1300 off the Bay a while back and they threw me off a little bit when I got them. They look a bit different with the wider side plugs and the lip that hangs out but they are a perfect seal and they do install easier.
