ATHENA Cylinder Base Gasket for HONDA CRF 150 2007-2026

The ATHENA cylinder base gasket is designed for HONDA CRF 150 from 2007 to 2026. The base gasket seals between the cylinder and the crankcase. Its thickness matters: it sets the height of the cylinder, and therefore the squish, the compression and, on a two-stroke, the port timing.

Key features

• Several thicknesses available for the same bike.
• The right tool for setting squish, compression and timing, according to Athena.

Choosing the right thickness

Measure the thickness of the old gasket with a vernier caliper and fit the same, unless you are deliberately adjusting the squish. A thicker gasket increases the squish and lowers compression; a thinner one does the opposite. After any change of thickness, check the squish with solder wire.

When to replace it?

• Oil or coolant seeping at the base of the cylinder.
• Gasket crushed or torn on removal.

Every time the cylinder is removed: a crushed base gasket can't be reused.

Fitting tips

1. Clean the crankcase face and the base of the cylinder without scratching them.
2. Fit the gasket dry, centred on the studs.
3. Tighten the cylinder in a criss-cross pattern to the manufacturer's torque.
4. If you have changed the thickness, measure the squish before refitting the cylinder head with a new head gasket.
