top end gaskets

I'm getting ready to do a top end rebuild on my '01 KDX200.

I've been looking at a gasket set from Cometic.

Do you guys suggest an aftermarket set like this, or should I go with OEM?

I've used Cometic and Moose (probably just rebranded Cometic) kits with no issues on my KDX, KLX and RMX

Cometic is very good.

No problems with cosmetic at all, perfect fit.

I recently used a Moose Racing top end gasket set. Very complete and everything worked great.

Cometic would probably get the nod as a more quality set perhaps.

Thank you everybody for your responses. I see Cometic has two gasket sets for the KDX200, one for 68mm bore and one for a 73mm bore.

Can anyone help me figure out which one to order?

One is for 200 and one for 220?

The 200 has a 66+ mm bore while the 220 has a 69+ mm bore.

Can't say for sure but would expect the head gasket IDs would be a bit larger than the cylinder's bore to allow for some clearance.

I would check with Cometic to confirm what is correct for your engine.
