Concerning my 850T with Gilardoni cylinders.
It looks like I should use the cylinder head gasket with the oval holes for the push rods.
Does anyone know the brand of full gasket sets that come with these gaskets?

The only (top-end) gasket kits that I know of that come with the oval hole head gaskets are those sold by MG Cycle. There might be others, but I've never seen them.

Someone said you don't need the oval hole gaskets but I find it hard to imagine that the round hole gaskets will work on the Gilardoni's.

You can't look in pushrod holes & figure it out? Make gaskets out of paper, place heads on & assemble them to snugged up, rotate motor, disassemble and look at the paper w/round holes. See if pushrods have touched the paper. This will tell you what you need.

If the holes in the cylinders are oval, then the oval holed gaskets should be used. The round hole gaskets won't seal around the pushrod tunnels as well.
