VERTEX 816290 Ignition Cover Gasket

The VERTEX 816290 Ignition Cover Gasket provides a dependable replacement sealing component for the ignition cover assembly. It is designed to fit between the mating cover surfaces and help maintain a secure seal when the assembly is properly installed. Replacing a worn, compressed, or damaged gasket can help address oil seepage and support reliable protection for components housed beneath the ignition cover.
Use the VERTEX 816290 as a service replacement when inspecting or rebuilding an ignition cover assembly. A properly fitted gasket helps compensate for minor surface irregularities between the cover and its mounting surface, supporting consistent sealing performance during normal operation. Before installation, remove the old gasket completely and clean the mating surfaces so they are free from residue, oil, dirt, and debris. Inspect the cover and mounting surface for warping, cracks, or damage that could affect the seal.
This VERTEX gasket is supplied as an individual replacement part and is suitable for professional repairs, routine maintenance, and restoration work when matched to the correct application. Always verify part number 816290 against the equipment manufacturer’s service information before ordering or installation. Follow the applicable service-manual procedures for fastener sequence, tightening specifications, sealant requirements, and final inspection. Proper preparation and installation help the gasket perform as intended and reduce the possibility of premature leakage.
