    Hello all, I have a 1981 XJ650 Maxim and the previous owner re-used the gaskets from the intake boots to the head and they are leaking unmetered air into my system. The boots are in great shape and I don't wanna buy new boots, just new gaskets. I am having a tough time finding just the gaskets for sale, any help? Oh and Im in Canada so I can't contact XJ4ever as he doesn't ship to canada. Thanks.

    Did you still use the metal gasket plus the sealer or just the sealer?

    If you are feeling creative go to your local auto parts place and get sheet gasket material, trace around the boots and cut out your new gaskets.
