OK instead of Nickle and diming myself and multiple ordering it is time to get a complete gasket set for my shovel. Has the EST foamet type gaskets been a gamechanger in the Cometic vs. James gaskets for the shovels? And if it is your motor which would u use.
Thanks.

I believe both sell Foamet style gaskets, and I don't have an opinion one way or the other, they both seem good to me.

Regarding a gasket kit, I've moved past that and just order individual gaskets. Why? The complete kits are pricey, and you end up with a whole bunch of gaskets that you won't use, but are paying for. In the grand scheme, there are not that many gaskets in these motors.
