Description
Overview:
The Gasket Cylinder Base Gasket for Husqvarna 545 Mark II chainsaws is a Genuine Husqvarna OEM seal for the joint between the cylinder and crankcase. Precision-cut from durable metal, it creates a tight, reliable seal to maintain compression and prevent air, fuel, and oil leaks that can harm performance. It is designed specifically for modern Husqvarna petrol chainsaws, including the 545 Mark II and 550XP Mark II, providing correct hole positions and edge profiles for a proper fit. Using the correct OEM gasket helps your saw start reliably, idle cleanly, and deliver consistent power, especially after top-end service or rebuilds.
