ATHENA Valve Cover Gasket for HONDA CRF 50, CRF 70, XR 50 1988-2024

On HONDA CRF 50, CRF 70, XR 50 from 1988 to 2024, the ATHENA S410210015023 valve cover gasket fits in place of the original part. The valve cover gasket stops valve train oil from escaping from the engine. It comes off at every valve clearance check and eventually hardens with the heat.

During a valve clearance check or work on the valve train, as soon as the gasket is hardened, flattened or damaged.

Fitting tips

1. Clean the groove in the cover and the cylinder head face.
2. Seat the gasket properly in its groove; sealant goes only where the manual calls for it (often the camshaft half-moons).
3. Tighten the screws in a criss-cross pattern to the manufacturer's torque, without crushing the gasket.
4. While it's apart, adjust the valve clearance with valve shims if needed and replace the spark plug.

Frequently asked questions

Should it be replaced at every valve check?
Not necessarily if it is still supple and intact, but a hardened gasket always ends up leaking.
