Multiquip 12251ZL0003 Gasket Cylinder Head - OEM Replacement Part

The cylinder head gasket creates a critical seal between the engine block and cylinder head on Honda GX160UT2SMXE engines, preventing compression loss, oil leaks, and combustion gas escape. This gasket is essential for maintaining proper engine performance and preventing overheating in demanding compaction applications.

Designed specifically for the Mikasa MVB150H block plate compactor, which generates 3417.09 lbf of centrifugal force at 5,800 vpm through its Honda GX160 4.9 HP gasoline engine. The engine's air-cooled 4-cycle design with 9.95 cubic inch displacement relies on proper head gasket sealing to maintain optimal compression ratios and prevent oil contamination. Symptoms of a failing head gasket include difficulty starting, white exhaust smoke, engine overheating, oil in the combustion chamber, or loss of power during operation.

This gasket should be replaced during any cylinder head removal for valve service, during major engine overhauls, or when troubleshooting engine performance issues on your plate compactor. Always inspect the mating surfaces for warping or damage before installation.

Compatible with the following Multiquip models:

• MVB150H Plate Compactor
• SP1G
