Description
Overview:
This genuine Stihl engine gasket (MPN 1119 029 0500 / 11190290500) is a precision-cut sealing component for Stihl professional chainsaws, including the 038 and MS380/MS381. Made from a durable, fuel- and oil-resistant fibre composite in a grey finish, it sits between engine mating surfaces to prevent air, fuel, and oil leaks, helping maintain correct compression and crankcase vacuum. A sound seal supports reliable starting, steady idle, and consistent power output, while reducing the risk of premature wear. Designed to OEM specifications, it matches the original profile and bolt pattern for an accurate fit and straightforward installation during routine servicing or a rebuild. Suitable for trades, grounds teams, arborists, and DIY users who want dependable, manufacturer-grade parts for their saw.
