Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Should I use a sealant when installing this cylinder head gasket?

A: For optimal performance and to ensure a proper seal, it is recommended to install the gasket dry on a clean, flat surface. Always ensure your cylinder head and block mating surfaces are free of debris or old gasket material before installation.

Q: Why choose a non-fire ring gasket over a fire ring version?

A: The non-fire ring design is the standard for spec-controlled classes like the LO206. It provides a reliable, consistent seal that adheres to class rules, whereas fire ring gaskets may be restricted or unnecessary for the compression levels of a stock LO206 engine.
