ATHENA Cylinder Head Gasket O-ring Ø50.00 x 2 mm for YAMAHA YZ 65 2018-2023

The ATHENA M752005000094 head gasket is designed for YAMAHA YZ 65 from 2018 to 2023. The head gasket seals between the cylinder head and the cylinder: it holds in the combustion pressure and, depending on the engine, the coolant. Crushed when tightened, it can never be reused.

Fitting tips

1. Clean the cylinder head and cylinder faces without scratching them.
2. Seat the O-ring properly in its groove, without twisting or stretching it, so it doesn't get pinched when tightened.
3. No sealant on the gasket.
4. Tighten the cylinder head in a criss-cross pattern, in several stages, to the manufacturer's torque.
5. Refill the coolant and take the opportunity to replace the spark plug.
