About This Product
Sealing the heads on an Ironhead Sportster requires a gasket that can take the heat and pressure of combustion. This James Gaskets cylinder head gasket is crafted from .016-inch thick copper, providing excellent thermal conductivity and a solid seal. With a final crush thickness of .015 inches, it offers the precision needed for high-compression environments. It fits late 1973 to 1985 XL Sportster models and replaces OEM 16769-73. Copper gaskets are a favorite among experienced mechanics for their durability and ability to conform to the head and cylinder surfaces. These are sold as a pack of five, perfect for keeping your Sporty running tight and leak-free.
Manufacturer part number: 16769-73.
