Short Description: Restore your engine's compression and ensure a leak-proof seal with this premium pair of copper head gaskets. Essential for maintaining peak power and protecting your engine from oil contamination during restoration or overhaul.

Technical Specifications:

• Compatibility: Dnepr MT-11 (and compatible MT series models)
• Manufacturer Code / SKU: MT801504
• Part Type: Engine / Sealing Components

Purpose and Role in the Motorcycle (based on the original manual):
The head gaskets are critical sealing elements situated between the bimetallic cylinders (which feature an aluminium jacket with a cast iron sleeve) and the aluminium alloy cylinder heads. Their primary role is to ensure absolute airtightness within the combustion chamber, preventing high-pressure gases from breaking through into the crankcase. Furthermore, they prevent engine oil from leaking out of the cylinder head joints. According to the technical manual, a failure in this seal leads to disrupted air-tightness, resulting in oil leakage and premature oil contamination, which significantly increases the wear of internal engine components. Signs that these gaskets require replacement include visible oil weeping around the cylinder head base, a noticeable drop in engine compression, or "popping" sounds during operation.

Benefits of Buying:

• Precision Fit: Manufactured to exact technical specifications to match the 78mm cylinder bore and the annular collar of the MT-11 engine.
• Superior Thermal Conductivity: The copper construction offers excellent heat transfer and resilience, which is vital for the air-cooled nature of the Dnepr engine.
• Long-Term Reliability: Copper gaskets provide a more durable seal under the high-torque tightening requirements (up to 3.6 kgf·m) compared to standard composite materials, ensuring a more stable seal over thousands of kilometers.
