Those of you who have an 87 Quadzilla with the 6 bolt head, what have you done to avoid blowing head gaskets? I used a Cometic gasket when I redid the top end last year and it just blew. Are the factory Suzuki gaskets better? I am also thinking of buying a cool head if it helps it out any. Thanks in advance for any advice.

Ya the aftermarket ones are cheep!.I got one trip out of my LT250 with a tusk gasket topend kit and it blew the head gasket the second day.Suzuki OEM head gaskets bin on there for 2 trip now and not one problem yet.Go with Trinity stage 5 head and drop down 2 cc on the dome size,this head has o-ring instead of a gasket .live and learn

Use the oem gasket and get the coolhead with the 62cc dome
I just blew my head gasket after 3 hard seasons
I put an all copper gasket on this time and I will wait and see?
I have another oem just in case.

That mod and a pipe and it will rip even more than it does now.

I've here that the copper gasket are real reliable.

Who sells the copper gaskets? I've also thought about having the head O-ringed. I guess I'll see what happens with the OEM gasket and the stock head for now until I get more $$$.

You can get the COpper gaskets from Jeff Tudor at http://www.tudorsperformance.com

THey are ok, but do not work with the cool head.

Put the larger head studs in it and o-ring it, then use a stock head gasket and a cool head, you will never have a blown top end again.

5 years and would still be running if the crank didnt snap in 2!

If you need more info, email me.

I sold mine.. Bummer too cause I miss that quad..
Cool head is cheap anymore..

I run a Cool Head and a gasket from Trinity... This is my second season with 215lbs of compression and no leaks... knock on wood
