The left one fits perfectly but what is up with that other one? I’m thinking that’s not gonna fly...[emoji848]
Any insight would be great
That gasket is for 885 "i" head. Yes, return that crap.
Just shows you the size difference between two heads, crazy

That’s weird. Makes me wonder what difference it would have made. I let Rockauto know and am waiting on the correct gaskets. Meanwhile, plenty of other things to do before the intake goes back on....[emoji2]

No difference IMO. The physical castings are the same size, so they seal just fine. I keep 885 gasket sets in stock at my shop and have used the on eta's with no ill effect.
