Description
That oil seeping down your Deutz engine isn’t just messy—it’s costing you money in lost oil and creating a fire hazard around that air-cooled motor. When your valve cover gasket starts failing, those annoying leaks seem to get worse every time the engine heats up, and oil ends up coating the cooling fins where it doesn’t belong. This replacement gasket puts an end to those frustrating leaks and keeps your engine running clean.
What You’re Getting
- Heat-resistant material that handles the extreme temperature swings of air-cooled operation
- Precision die-cut for a perfect fit without any trimming or modifications needed
- Restores the proper seal to keep oil where it belongs and your engine running cool
- Direct replacement that installs just like the original gasket
Built for Real Farm Work
These Deutz FL912 and FL913 air-cooled engines are legendary for reliability—you’ll find them powering telehandlers on construction sites, generators at remote locations, and running compressors and pumps where water-cooling isn’t practical. But that air-cooling means extreme temperature swings at the valve covers, and your gasket expands and contracts hundreds of times per day until it eventually hardens and cracks.
Made to Last
Unlike water-cooled engines that stay at steady temperatures, air-cooled motors see brutal heat cycles where the covers can go from ambient temperature to over 200°F in minutes, then cool rapidly when shut down. This gasket is engineered specifically for those demanding conditions and won’t give up when the heat is on.
Installation Notes
Remove the old valve cover carefully—those old gaskets like to stick and leave pieces behind, so clean both surfaces thoroughly with a scraper and solvent. Install the new gasket dry with no sealers needed if surfaces are clean, and torque the cover bolts evenly in a crisscross pattern—over-tightening distorts the cover and causes leaks. Pro tip: while you have the cover off, check your valve adjustment since air-cooled engines are hard on valve trains.
