When it’s time to perform that all-important maintenance on your vintage motorcycle, you know there are places where you simply can’t cut corners. Initially, riders may believe that there isn’t much difference between one replacement gasket and another, so you choose price over quality, but you’ll soon learn there are variations in materials, manufacturing processes, cutting methods and product safety standards that can drastically alter how a gasket performs once it’s installed.
Gaskets are meant to form a seal when engine components are joined under compression. This seal prevents fluids from leaking, and keeps impurities and grime from gumming up the works. Inconsistencies in the gasket material or flaws in the manufacturing process can alter the gasket and affect the seal it is intended to create. Poor cutting methods can create gaps between the gasket and the joining surface, allowing oil to leak where you don’t want it. When you slip up and buy a cheap gasket for your classic bike, the failure of the seal can cause damage to parts that are expensive or impossible to replace. Gaskets are manufactured all over the world. Unfortunately, every country has its own laws governing product quality and safety–and this can affect the integrity of your replacement gasket.
