Cylinder head gasket 38mm for Piaggio Ciao, SI and Bravo – Perfect compression and performance
To ensure your Piaggio moped runs smoothly and delivers full power, a perfect seal in the cylinder head is essential. This high-quality 38mm cylinder head gasket has been specifically designed for the original 50cc cylinders (38mm bore) of the popular Piaggio models Ciao, SI, Bravo, Boxer and Grillo. It provides a reliable seal between the cylinder and the cylinder head, prevents pressure loss during combustion, and protects your engine from unwanted air leaks.
Whether during a revision, when changing the cylinder, or as part of regular service – a fresh head gasket must be replaced every time you disassemble the engine to guarantee optimal compression pressure.
Installation and maintenance tips:
Clean sealing surfaces: Make sure that the sealing surfaces on the cylinder and the cylinder head are absolutely clean, free of grease, and free of old gasket remnants before installation.
Even tightening: Tighten the cylinder head nuts in a cross pattern and in stages to ensure that the gasket settles evenly and no warping stresses occur.
No additional sealants: Generally, do not use additional liquid sealants with this metal or special gasket, as they can burn or be pushed out under the high heat generated in the combustion chamber.
