Stator Crankcase Cover Gasket for Honda CRF 450 R 2002-2008

Brand new stator crankcase cover gasket - part RM08017 - replaces Honda 11395-MEB-670

The stator crankcase cover gasket seals the left-hand engine cover against the crankcase. It has to do two things at once: hold engine oil securely inside the cases, and keep water, mud and grit away from the stator windings, the pickup coil and the flywheel that sit behind the cover. On a competition machine such as the CRF 450 R that cover comes off regularly - for stator or ignition work, for flywheel weight changes, or simply as part of a rebuild - and a fresh gasket should go back on every time. Once a gasket has been torqued down it takes a permanent set, and refitting a used one is the most common cause of a weeping cover.

This is a brand new replacement gasket cut to the original Honda pattern for the 2002 to 2008 CRF 450 R, so every bolt hole and oil passage lines up with the factory case and no trimming, no sealant bead and no modification is needed. It replaces Honda part number 11395-MEB-670 and carries a one year limited warranty. The item photographs are accurate representations of the gasket supplied, so if you are unsure, compare them directly with your original part before ordering. Fitting is straightforward, but the cover should be torqued to the manufacturer's figures - have the work done by a qualified technician if you are not confident working inside the engine cases.
