James Gasket Cylinder Head Gasket with Fire Ring

James Gasket cylinder head gaskets with fire ring seal the joint between the cylinder head and the cylinder. They are used in V-twin and other powersports engine builds and rebuilds. The head gasket (also called a cylinder head gasket or top end gasket) keeps combustion pressure in the chamber. It also keeps oil and coolant passages separate.

Key Features:

• Fire ring construction: A fire ring is built in around the combustion opening to help the gasket hold up to the heat and pressure of combustion.
• Replacement design: Made to take the place of the original head gasket in the applications they are listed for.
• Quality materials: James Gaskets states that it uses modern materials and production methods in its gaskets.
• Made in the U.S.A.: James Gaskets lists these gaskets as American-made.

James Gasket has a long record of supplying gaskets, seals and gasket kits for motorcycle engines. Fire ring head gaskets are a common choice for restoration work and routine top end service. Use a new gasket whenever the cylinder head is removed, and clean the mating surfaces first. Choose the specific part number that matches your engine and the gasket thickness you need.
