Stock Head Gasket???

[bustedplastic]

Hello,

I cant remember what my original one looked like, but i just got a stock yamaha head gasket in the mail and it's not layered like the other gaskets i was using.  Have the stock ones always been like this???  It looks to be only one piece...

i believe the gasket I was using had layers. like 2-3 thin sections semi-pressed together.

yeah, this think looks NOTHING like my big bore cometic gaskets, no rivets, and there appears to be no way to mess up alignment.  It's also pressed weird.  I will take a picture of it when i finally take it out of the plastic...

the oem gasket is a single layer embeded with silicone to deal the water jackets....its black and gray

yep, thats what it looks like, thanks.  I've been staring at cometics for the past few months, so it just looked odd to me...
