Short Description: Ensure your engine's lubrication system remains perfectly sealed and efficient with this high-quality sump gasket. A vital component for preventing oil leaks and maintaining the internal pressure of your Dnepr MT-11 engine.

Technical Specifications:

• Compatibility: Dnepr MT-11 (Model KM3-8.155.6 and compatible series)
• Manufacturer Code / SKU: MT801162
• Part Type: Engine / Lubrication System

Purpose and Role in the Motorcycle (based on the original manual):
The sump gasket is a critical sealing element located at the lowest point of the engine, positioned between the aluminum alloy crankcase and the stamped oil sump. In the Dnepr MT-11, the crankcase serves as the primary oil reservoir for a combined-type lubrication system (forced-feed and splash). The primary role of the MT801162 gasket is to ensure absolute air-tightness and prevent oil leakage. According to the technical manual, any disturbance in the sealing of this joint can lead to oil seepage and a rise in internal crankcase pressure, which may cause premature oil contamination and accelerated wear of the engine's internal moving parts. Signs that it is time to replace this gasket include visible oil dripping from the bottom of the engine or a noticeable drop in oil levels between service intervals.

Benefits of Buying:

• Exact match to factory specifications: Designed as an OEM-standard replacement to ensure a perfect fit without the need for modifications.
• Enhanced Engine Protection: By restoring a leak-proof seal, you prevent the ingress of dust and moisture into the oil reservoir, extending the life of your crankshaft and connecting rods.
• Durable Material: Manufactured from high-grade sealing material capable of withstanding the thermal expansion of the aluminum crankcase and the chemical properties of motor oils.
