What does the .040 inch thickness mean for my engine?

The .040 inch thickness is a specific measurement for this gasket. It's often used when rebuilding an engine to achieve a slight increase in compression ratio or to compensate for minor surface imperfections on the cylinder head or cylinder deck.

What does 'stock bolt pattern' mean for installation?

This means the bolt holes on the gasket line up with the original bolt holes on your engine's cylinder heads and cylinders. It helps ensure a direct fit without requiring modifications to your engine components.

What is 'layered steel' construction?

Layered steel gaskets are made from multiple thin layers of steel. This construction allows them to conform well to sealing surfaces and maintain a strong seal under the high pressures and temperatures found in an engine's combustion chamber.

About this part

Product Details

This layered steel head gasket from S&S Cycle is built to a .040 inch thickness, designed for stock bolt patterns on Twin Cooled Harley-Davidson engines with a 4-inch bore. When you're rebuilding the top end or replacing worn gaskets, using a well-made gasket is crucial for sealing the combustion chamber and preventing leaks. This gasket's layered steel construction offers solid sealing performance for these specific engine configurations.

The .040 inch thickness is a notable detail, often chosen when a slight increase in compression is desired or to account for minor deck resurfacing. S&S Cycle is known for making reliable engine components, and this head gasket is no exception. It's made to fit the stock bolt pattern, meaning it should install without needing to modify your cylinder heads or jugs, making the job more straightforward.
