Re-read the post, your looking for pushrod gaskets, not valve gaskets... my bad... post deleted

 

[konarider94]

he is talking about the rubber gasket at the bottom of the plastic pushrod covers that are held on with 4 socket head cap screws each.

the seals inside the valve spring are valve seals

But you do need 1 each 17649-02 (Gasket, push rod cover rear), and one 17608-00Y (gasket, pushrod cover front)

Mr Konarider,
Did I screw up? Mine are different on my 05. Just put my heads together Sunday, that's how I knew there may be different PN's...? Looking at my old ones, they appear to be mirror images

Sorry if I fouled

 

[konarider94]

no i think i did. i went out and looked at mine in the garage and they are stacked on top of one another. one must have been upside down. i didnt look at them that close bec i thought i remembered them being the same before even looking.

hi iam thinking the 17649-02 is the right ones for buell xb12s the 17608-00y part # is a older part # saying it fits both the xb and blast and it is a flat style

 

[konarider94]

see this. http://www.scribd.com/doc/31630410/Buell-XB9R-Firebolt-03-Parts-and-Assembly-Manual

sorry if you ordered two of the same one because i had a stupid moment. and it fits both xb and blast because the blast only has a front cylinder.

[konarider94]

why do you have to change them. im pretty sure they didnt come in my gasket kit so i just used the old ones. they are a soft rubber they will seal again.

 

[bushman]

i was thinking they be ok i was just gona buy new tobe on safeside i have the Cometic Top End Gasket kit they gave me a set with that but they dont look like the oem

 

[konarider94]

oh then just use those. cometic is the ****, whats different about them? i have a cometic gasket kit on mine and i could swear it didnt come with those.

 

[bushman]

Today I found that the front and the rear pushrod cover base gaskets are different. Rear pushrod gasket part number is 17649-02. Front pushrod gasket part number is 17608-00Y. I was thinking they are the same or sold as kit for rear and front, but not.

You could 3-D print a time machine and tell them all about it 5 years ago.

When I was looking for gaskets I was confused by the picture on Twin Motorcycles web page showed two gaskets in one bag with parts number 17649-02, so I was thinking this is full set, I also did not notice the gaskets are different, now I have to wait the correct gasket before I can start assembling the cylinders. The old pushrod cover base gaskets look good but I don't want to install old gaskets because of the one pushrod cover top o-ring gasket is already leaking and I don't want to spend months again wrenching the motorcycle just to replace one gasket.

I actually was expecting to fix this crap for a few days, but each time I went to next step I figured out I need another parts or another tools, and service manual is not clear at all on parts and tools you need, sometimes the tools part numbers listed in the service manual do not exist already, or hard to find, or hard to figure out the correct tool size, so a few days extended to months because of each time I stuck such way I need to investigate the issue, then order new parts or tools and then wait them before I can proceed the work. I have not found any thread here with full list of must have tools and parts to perform such job, so maybe when I will have done with this I may create such thread with full list of stuff and tips and tricks service manual does not cover or not clear on. Such thread would be really helpful.

Also be careful shopping on Harley Davidson St Paul because of it says "17649-02 GENUINE BUELL LOWER FRONT PUSH ROD TUBE GASKET" but 17649-02 is actually REAR gasket https://www.sphdonline.com/products...-push-rod-tube-gasket-2003-2010-xb-models-l6d
