VALVE COVER GASKET – Silicone

for

Suzuki GS750, GS1000 and GS1100

Also called a Cylinder Head Cover Gasket

   –   Our silicone rubber gaskets are made from aerospace mechanical

        grade AMS silicone and designed to withstand temperatures

        up to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.   

   –   Therefore, they will not break down and deform or crack up

        like cork or neoprene.   

   –   Our gaskets seal uneven and warped surfaces, and

        eliminates corrosion.

   –   Gaskets are 100% reusable.

Count your bolt holes to be sure you are ordering the correct gasket. (see below)

20-bolt hole gasket fits to 24-hole rocker cover.  

Pattern of this gasket is similar to Suzuki gasket  RG-11173-49207

but the outer bolt holes line up differently.

COUNT THE BOLT HOLES IN YOUR CURRENT GASKET and match to our picture:

 – IF YOU HAVE 16 BOLT HOLES  – ORDER PART # RG-11173-49207  

 – IF YOU HAVE 20 BOLT HOLES  – ORDER PART # RG-11173-49224

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

1.    Wash the cover and cylinder head surfaces with solvent.   
2.    Remove all traces of oil.    
3.    The surfaces must be DRY  (no oil or lube of any type)
4.    TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS:
5.    Torque to 15 inch pounds

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN  –  it causes the gasket to bulge or squeeze out!

If the gasket starts to bulge or “pooch” out then back off on the torque.  

It is okay to use Loctite on the bolts.

TO REUSE GASKET: 

1.    Wash the gasket BRIEFLY in hot soapy water.
   
2.    Rinse well and dry thoroughly.  
3.    Re-install gasket using the above installation instructions.  

(Silicone valve cover gaskets for this model are not to be used 

if the Suzuki motorcycle has a tach drive in the valve cover.   

It could cause a clearance issue.)

PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA.
