Description
Overview:
The Cylinder Gasket 0.8 mm is a genuine Stihl OEM sealing gasket for the cylinder base on Stihl petrol chainsaws, specifically the MS 460 and 046. Made from durable green compressed fibre gasket material, it sits between the cylinder and crankcase to prevent air, fuel, and oil leaks while maintaining correct engine compression. Its precisely controlled 0.8 mm thickness (about 0.0315 inches, roughly 1/32 inch) supports reliable running and helps preserve the factory-set clearances. Accurate profiling and bolt-hole alignment make it suitable for routine maintenance and full top-end rebuilds. This gasket is a straightforward, essential service part for tradespeople and DIY users who need dependable performance from their Stihl chainsaws in daily cutting, felling, and processing work.
