Description

Briggs Model 19 8HP Copper Head Gasket – .032" High-Performance Upgrade


Boost the performance and compression of your vintage small engine with this .032" Copper Head Gasket designed specifically for the Briggs & Stratton Model 19 8HP engine. Precision-cut from high-quality copper, this gasket improves heat transfer, durability, and combustion seal compared to standard fiber gaskets—making it ideal for restorations, race prep, and high-compression builds.


The thinner .032" profile raises compression for increased power, while the copper construction ensures excellent sealing and thermal conductivity. For best results, this gasket should be used with an o-ringed head and/or block to create a proper seal under high pressure. Without this, a reliable cylinder seal may not be achieved.


Key Features:

  • Fits Briggs Model 19 (8HP) Engines
  • .032" Thickness: Increases compression for enhanced performance
  • Copper Construction: Reusable with proper care; excellent thermal and sealing properties
  • Designed for O-Ringed Engines: Requires stainless o-ring groove in head or block for max sealing
  • Ideal for Racing, Restoration, or Custom Builds

FAQ

What engine does this gasket fit?
A: This copper gasket is specifically designed for the Briggs & Stratton Model 19 8HP engine, often used in vintage equipment and small-engine racing builds.


Q2: What does the .032" thickness do?
A: The thinner .032" thickness increases engine compression, improving power and efficiency—particularly beneficial in modified or performance-tuned engines.


Q3: Do I need to o-ring the head or block to use this gasket?
A: Yes. A stainless steel o-ring groove must be machined into the cylinder head or engine block to properly seal the copper gasket and prevent compression leaks.


Q4: Can I use this gasket on a stock, non-o-ringed engine?
A: It's not recommended. Without an o-ringed surface, copper gaskets may not seal properly, especially in high-compression applications.


Q5: Is this gasket reusable?
A: With proper cleaning and annealing (heat treating), copper gaskets can sometimes be reused. However, for best performance and reliability, replacing it is advised.
