ATHENA Racing Top End Gasket Kit for HONDA CRF 150 2007-2026

The ATHENA Racing R2106-202 top end gasket kit is designed for HONDA CRF 150 from 2007 to 2026. The top end gasket kit brings together the gaskets to replace every time the cylinder head or cylinder comes off. A gasket crushed by tightening never gets its shape back: refitting it means risking a compression, coolant or oil leak, and having to strip everything down again.

Key features

• Head, base and exhaust gaskets, O-rings and washers, depending on the model.
• Laser cutting and surface treatments for consistent sealing.
• Designed by Athena, an OEM supplier, and validated on test benches.

Specifications

• Brand: ATHENA
• Manufacturer part number: R2106-202
• EAN code: 8055681306851
• Weight: 110 g
• Engine: 4-stroke

When to replace it?

• Coolant or oil seeping at the head/cylinder or cylinder/crankcase joint.
• Coolant level dropping, bubbles in the radiator.
• Hissing or black marks where the exhaust leaves the cylinder.

At every piston change and every time the cylinder head or cylinder is removed, even for a simple inspection. Gaskets cost little compared with the work of stripping the engine.

Fitting tips

1. Clean the gasket faces without scratching them (plastic scraper, solvent): they must be clean, dry and free of burrs.
2. Fit the gaskets dry, without sealant, unless the workshop manual says otherwise.
3. Refit a base gasket of the same thickness as the old one, unless you are deliberately adjusting the squish.
4. Tighten the cylinder head in a criss-cross pattern, in several stages, up to the manufacturer's torque.
5. While it's apart, replace the spark plug and refill the coolant.
6. After break-in, check the torque with the engine cold and make sure there are no leaks.

Frequently asked questions

What does the kit contain?
Depending on the model: head gasket, base gasket, exhaust gasket, O-rings and washers. Compare with your original gaskets if you're unsure.

Should I replace it along with the piston?
Yes: as soon as the cylinder head and cylinder are off, new gaskets go back on. It's the right time to fit a new piston kit and new rings if the engine has some hours on it.
