Motorcycle engine gaskets and seals make the assembly air-tight. They prevent lubricant or fuel from leaking out. They are inexpensive and often available in kits.
Types of motorcycle engine gaskets and seals
By the material they are made of:
- Metal. They are durable. They can be made from thin sheets of:
- high-strength aluminium;
- copper, which is more resistant to high temperatures.
- Non-metal. They are mainly made from materials which withstand exposure to technical fluids. For example, the following ones are used:
- Paronite. Components made from it can have metal framing around the holes.
- Cardboard. Elements made from this material are used only in places where they are not exposed to high temperatures.
By position:
- Under the cylinder head. They allow eliminating any gaps between the head and cylinder.
- Between the cylinder and crankcase. Quite often they can be used together with a small amount of sealant.
- Under the crankcase cover. Presence of these elements depends on bike design. For example, in some models, these gaskets can be found only under the lift cover.
- Between the carburettor hose and cylinder. They play an important role in maintaining the perfect air-fuel ratio.
Malfunctions: their causes and symptoms
- Cracks and other mechanical defects. In that case, you will notice the reduction of the engine power output and, as a result, bad dynamics. Also, unusual sounds might appear, which can be easily heard while driving in the low RPM range. Careless repair of the assembly is a possible cause.
- Thermal damage. It leads to deformation, loss of elasticity. As a result, motorcycle engine gaskets and seals cannot ensure an air-tight connection. Possible consequences are difficulties starting the engine and the reduction of its power output. The cause of the defect is overheating due to excessive loads on the power unit or lubrication system failure, for instance.
Tips on how to maintain and replace motorcycle engine gaskets and seals
- These parts do not have a pre-defined service life and they have to be replaced as malfunctions occur. These motorcycle parts can’t be reused after being removed, even if their condition is alright.
- When dismantling an old part, always examine the elements of the assembly it seals. They might also need replacing.
- Before installing a new part, its seat should be cleaned and degreased.
- Replacement should be carried out only in compliance with the operating and service manual of the vehicle. In particular, you shouldn’t use sealants unless it is required by the motorcycle manufacturer.
