ATHENA Cylinder Head Gasket for SUZUKI JR 50 1978-1995

On SUZUKI JR 50 from 1978 to 1995, the ATHENA S410510001025 head gasket fits in place of the original part. Between the cylinder head and the cylinder, the head gasket contains the pressure of every explosion. Once tightened, it takes the shape of the parts: on reassembly you need a new gasket to keep full compression.

Fitting tips

1. Clean the cylinder head and cylinder faces without scratching them.
2. Fit the gasket dry, the right way round, centred on the studs and the coolant holes.
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.

Frequently asked questions

Is the gasket enough to refit the cylinder head?
It replaces the head gasket only. If you also remove the cylinder, go for a complete top end gasket kit instead.
