Description
Overview:
The Cylinder Gasket for Stihl HS81R and HS81RC is a Genuine Stihl part (OEM 4237 029 2300) that seals the joint between the cylinder and crankcase on two-stroke hedge trimmers. Made from a heat‐resistant fibre composite engineered for small engines, it maintains compression, prevents air and oil/fuel leaks, and supports smooth, efficient running. This gasket is designed specifically for Stihl hedge trimmers in the HS81 and HS86 families, delivering the right thickness and profile for correct port timing and a reliable seal. Its precision cutouts align with factory bolt patterns and transfer ports, helping to restore performance after top‐end servicing or rebuilds. Suitable for routine maintenance or repairs, it offers dependable fit and durability for busy trades and regular garden use.
