You can save yourself $26.75 have all 9 gaskets, and cut your own. I have had all 9 flat gaskets available of years on a sheet of asbestos gasket material you cut them yourself and save. I also have a head gasket ready to use that is proven. These as well as many other items were put together for my restorations. Something most don't know is that the distributor side gasket has to be of a specific thickness and of a gasket material that will retain that thickness when torqued. Otherwise the cam can seize.
But I am in this as a hobby and do not market them so they are not on a shelf.
If you want to know more please contact me off line.

Yea, the Lazorlite kits in the last year or so before they went out of business had a 360 side cover gasket instead of the 600.
Cutting the gaskets is simple with a single hole hand paper punch and a good set of scissors. I normally cut a set in around 15 to 20 minutes. What a lot of hobbyists forget is that the head has to be torqued to 23 lbs. ft. for the 10mm nuts and 120 inch lbs. for the 6 mm bolts. Many over torque the head nuts and crack the cam box, normally in the front right area.
If there is oil leaking there it's most likely not the gasket.
This is why the matting surfaces of the cases and covers must be checked for warping and fixed before putting things back together. More threads are stripped and cases cracked because the bolts were over torqued.
