James Gaskets has supplied American V-twin gaskets, seals and O-rings for decades and is one of the most widely stocked names for Harley-Davidson engine, primary and transmission rebuilds. When a service manual calls for a specific gasket, James almost always has an exact-fit answer.
Restore a reliable seal to your primary case with the James Gaskets starter shaft primary housing gasket. Designed for classic V-twin Big Twin engines, this OEM-grade gasket ensures dependable oil containment where the starter shaft passes through. Made in the U.S.A., it's a quality replacement for your Harley-Davidson.
Over time, primary housing gaskets can deteriorate, leading to unsightly and potentially damaging oil leaks. This James Gaskets component is specifically engineered to seal the starter shaft area on Big Twin V-twin engines, preventing oil from escaping the primary case. Its U.S.-made construction and OEM-equivalent specifications mean you're getting a reliable part built to last.
When installing this James Gaskets primary housing gasket, proper preparation is key. Always ensure the primary cover and case mating surfaces are thoroughly cleaned and free of any old gasket material or residue. Refer to your Harley-Davidson service manual for the correct torque specifications when reassembling to achieve a secure, leak-free seal and optimal performance from your Big Twin.
What does this gasket specifically seal?
This gasket seals the primary housing starter shaft opening to prevent oil leakage from the primary case on your Big Twin V-twin engine.
Is this an OEM part?
No, James Gaskets manufactures this to OEM specifications as an aftermarket replacement, not an original Harley-Davidson part.
Will this fit my Sportster?
No, this gasket is exclusively for Big Twin engines. Sportster models require a different primary housing gasket for proper fitment.
