It seals combustion so compression stays in the chamber and the 4-cycle kart motor can run as designed. Beginners replacing a blown or leaking factory gasket on a clone engine get the same deck height and quench as stock. Racers rebuilding a 196cc clone for kart racing keep OEM compression instead of jumping to a multilayer performance gasket.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDucar lists this as the stock factory head gasket. It is not MLS. If the head and block are true, compression remains at factory clone spec. Use it when you want a straight OEM replacement, not a compression change.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWill this fit a GX200 clone engine?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes.

Use only on clone engine heads and blocks that match the Ducar factory gasket pattern.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDoes the .009 in thickness change compression?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNominal thickness is .009 in thin metal. Installed on a true head and block, it holds factory clone compression and quench.
