Ron,
"""Question #1: It appears that there are two gaskets for the front engine
plate included in the Payen Top End gasket kit. One appears to be unimpregnated
brown paper gasket and the other is an impregnated gray gasket. My instinct
is to use the gray gasket alone but why would two be supplied with the Payen
kit?"""
When I did my front engine plate, I removed what appeared to be a thin paper
gasket. The replacement gasket I got individually from TRF was a thicker
gray material. I thought thicker would be better and installed. When I got to
the point where you reinstall the cam shaft retaining plate it would barely fit
into the groove as the thicker gasket brought the plate out farther as well.
There is supposed to be a specific clearance for this cam plate and I had to
shave off some of the cam plate to get it to fit properly. Just an FYI.
Good Luck,
MRankin
