Frequently Asked Questions

Why is this a 2-pack instead of a single gasket?

Two-packs are sold for shops, multi-bike maintenance, and riders who keep spares. You need only one gasket per head rebuild.

What is MLS construction and why does it matter?

Multi-layer steel (MLS) gaskets use stacked steel layers to resist blowout and handle thermal cycling better than traditional single-layer gaskets.

Will this fit my Harley or Indian?

This gasket is designed for V-twin engines. Verify the part number matches your specific bike model, year, and engine type before purchase.

Do I need to use a special gasket sealer with MLS?

MLS gaskets typically require minimal sealer — check your engine manual or gasket instructions for the recommended procedure.
