Premium Molded Rubber Valve Cover Sealing
Stop annoying oil leaks at the top of your cylinder head without paying dealership prices. The MOOSE OFFROAD Head Cover Gasket, available at Moto-House MX, is a high-quality replacement for the thick, molded rubber gaskets found on the Suzuki 400cc engine platform. Whether you are performing a routine valve clearance check or a full top-end rebuild, the 817848 gasket provides a factory-perfect fit and unmatched reliability for your dual-sport, street, or off-road machine.
Engineered and manufactured in the USA, this valve cover gasket utilizes high-tech rubber materials designed to withstand the constant heat cycles and oil exposure of a high-performance 4-stroke engine. While some gaskets are flimsy, this molded rubber design provides the necessary thickness and elasticity to create a reliable seal between the head cover and the cylinder head. MOOSE OFFROAD offers this as a standalone item, giving you the flexibility to buy exactly what you need for your 2000-2025 Suzuki DR-Z400 or the new DR-Z4S models.

Expert Pro-Tip
When installing a new valve cover gasket, ensure the "half-moon" sections of the gasket are seated perfectly in the cylinder head cutouts. A tiny dab of high-temp silicone sealant in the corners of those half-moons is a common professional practice to ensure a 100% leak-free seal.

Frequently Asked Questions

A: This SKU is for the main head cover gasket. Depending on the model, internal spark plug or bolt "half-moon" seals may be sold separately or as part of a complete kit.
