Newbie intro with q's

[James_ibbo]

Hello to all , i've just joined this great site and I'm hoping to get some information as I have just obtained my first v4 ,, an nc24! The bike was seized solid when I got it and at the moment I am in the proccess of stripping and rebuilding the top end, which brings me to my first question..... Is there any suitable gasket kits available for the nc24? I've been doing some serious looking but have found nothing. Also is there a thread on here for doing the valve clearances? Any help would be hugely appreciated, I will be putting some pictures up soon and plan to keep you up to date with progress. Thanks in advance. James

Welcome to the site mate.
To answer your questions, there is no gasket set sold for nc24 anymore, you can get the gaskets seperate from this site if you look under cylinder head for headgasket part number 6

As for valve clearance im not too sure, could be same as nc30 but i will let someone thats owns an nc30 answer that one.

i believe you can use the nc30 gaskets can be used,

as for valve clearance the 24 uses tappets and adjustor nuts and not shims like the 30
