complete oil seal kits for the xs

[Niels B]

question : is there any vendor that sell a complete oil set kit for the crankcase incl. kicks start and clutch push rod?
or do i have to go the long route and buy them individually!

An ebay vendor has them in a kit

I've bought them and used a couple they seemed fine.

is there no difference between these and the 650E 1978? see it mention, I'm not knowledgeable enough to know if they changed sizes over the years

I think they are all the same. Yes they are.

If you're in the market for a gasket set too, this is a good deal .....

I bought a couple but haven't used much out of them yet. But they're made in Japan and look to be of good quality. The head gasket thickness matches an original (.048") and the o-rings for behind the advance/points housings are silicone. The head gasket in the Athena kit is thicker (.061") and that housing o-ring is black rubber. I did recently use a couple of the intake manifold gaskets and they're very nice, very thick just like originals.

I have used the seals before but not the gaskets. Thanks.

How did the seals on ebay hold up for you?

I think I ran those seals in the 70 I got from @BowlingSS all this summer, all seem good, engine is oil tight.

Sumo Rubber has ARS seal kits. In other words brand new OEM's. That's where I'd put my money.

Dime City has them too. Or MikesXS.

If you're in a hurry, Dime City or the rest of the Revival Parts group respond in a hurry.

Worked great. I also used the gaskets. Great stuff.
