Description
Overview:
This Genuine Stihl gasket is a factory-spec sealing component for the 044 and MS 440 chainsaws. Made from a heat-resistant, fuel- and oil-resistant fibre composite, it forms a tight seal between mating engine components to keep compression stable and fluids contained. A secure seal supports easy starting, smooth idling, and consistent power under load, while helping to prevent air leaks that can lead to lean running. It is a direct replacement for OEM part number 1128 029 0500 and is sized for an accurate fit within the engine assembly. Suitable for routine servicing or full engine overhauls, it offers reliable performance for both professional tradespeople and DIY users who need their saw to run cleanly and efficiently.
