This air compressor parts gasket set contains 3 flat cylinder head gaskets for small piston compressor pumps, supplied in your choice of 51 Type, 65 Type, 80 Type, 90 Type or 95 Type. Each set is made from plastic gasket material and is used to seal the joint between the valve plate and the cylinder head during a pump service.
Features and benefits:
- 3 gaskets in every set - enough to seal the head joint and keep spares for the next rebuild
- Five type options: 51, 65, 80, 90 and 95 Type, so you can match the gasket to your pump size
- Flat plastic construction - a straightforward refit when the head is off
- Round and square outlines in the range, with published dimensions such as 46mm, 62mm, 72mm, 81mm and 106mm on the round types
- Square gaskets of 70mm, 75mm and 90mm on the matching types - check the outline against your old gasket before ordering
- Colour varies between sets (green and black, blue and grey as shown) - the colour does not change the fit
Applications:
- Replacing a leaking or blown cylinder head gasket on a small piston air compressor
- Compressor pump rebuilds alongside new reed valves and piston rings
- Workshop and garage air compressor servicing
- Keeping spare seals for belt drive and direct drive compressor pumps
In the box:
3 x valve plate gaskets (one set of 3 pieces in the type you choose).
Note: Choose the type by measuring your old gasket and comparing it with the sizes listed here. Isolate the compressor from power and release all air pressure before taking the head off. Clean both mating faces before fitting the new gasket.

A: It seals the joint between the valve plate and the cylinder head so compressed air cannot leak out between them. A worn or blown gasket shows up as lost pressure and a longer fill time.. Q: How do I know which type of gasket my compressor needs? A: Measure the outline of your old gasket and compare it with the sizes in the specifications: 46mm for 51 Type, 62mm for 65 Type, 72mm for 80 Type and 81mm for 90 Type. 95 Type shows 106mm and 94mm sizes.. Q: How many gaskets come in a set? A: Each set holds 3 valve plate gaskets in the type you select.. Q: Can I reuse an old cylinder head gasket? A: A flat gasket that has been compressed and heated is better replaced when the head is off. The set contains 3 pieces so you have spares.. Q: What else should I replace when rebuilding an air compressor pump? A: Many people fit new reed valves and piston rings at the same time as the gasket, since the head is already apart. This listing covers the gaskets only..
