Why settle for subpar seals when a fire ring gasket can lock in your engine's power? This Tillotson component, designed for 72mm bore engines, creates an unbreakable barrier against compression loss, letting you push harder through straights and corners alike.

• Nominal 0.045" thickness for precise fitment on engines up to +0.030" oversize.
• Fire ring technology enhances durability under extreme heat and pressure.
• Exclusively for 72mm setups—avoids mismatches that could cause blowouts.

In kart racing, even minor leaks sap horsepower, but this gasket maintains optimal cylinder pressure for consistent RPMs and faster laps. It's a small part with a big impact, helping your Tillotson 196cc clone run smoother and stronger.

Tillotson OEM Part #138220030. SKU: TPP-FRHG72

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this gasket compatible with standard 196cc clone engines?

A: This gasket is specifically engineered for 72mm bore engines. Please ensure your engine block has been bored to 72mm before installation, as it will not provide a proper seal on a standard 68mm or 70mm bore.

Q: Can I reuse this fire ring head gasket after removing the cylinder head?

A: No. For optimal performance and to ensure a perfect seal against compression loss, we strongly recommend installing a fresh gasket every time the cylinder head is removed.

Q: What is the benefit of the "fire ring" design?

A: The fire ring technology provides a reinforced barrier around the combustion chamber. This helps the gasket withstand the extreme heat and cylinder pressures found in high-performance racing engines, preventing blowouts that are common with standard paper gaskets.

Q: Does this gasket work with oversized pistons?

A: Yes, this gasket features a nominal 0.045" thickness and is designed to accommodate engines up to +0.030" oversize, providing a precise fit for your modified build.
