Good To Know

Q: How often should a reed valve gasket be replaced? A: Replace it whenever the reed valve is removed or shows signs of wear, cracking, or compression set. Reusing a compressed gasket can allow air leaks.

Q: Does the gasket come with mounting hardware? A: This listing covers the gasket itself, so reuse or source any reed cage bolts separately. Check your parts diagram if unsure of bolt condition.

Slight variation in finish or dimensions may occur between production runs, and fit can depend on serial number, so confirm compatibility before ordering.
