I'm using a gasket that I got from Mini Mania. It has a fiber type material
on one side and a solid aluminum looking material on the other. It came in a
plain brown wrapper with no name so don't know who made it but it was pretty
cheap at around $20. I used Kopercoat on both sides.
After about 500 miles I had a massive oil leak on the carb side. I had not
got around to re-torque the head yet. Re-torqued it and it's been ok since,
about 6000 miles.
