Dayton, Nevada based specialist James Gaskets is well known for offering dealers access to the most comprehensive gaskets and seals program for Harley applications, going back as far as 1936.
However, seen here is James' primary gasket kit for Victory models from 1999 to present. The comprehensive kit features beaded Foamet primary, cam, chain tensioner and derby cover gaskets, and all necessary o-rings and seals.
Precision manufactured in stiff chemical and heat tolerant aluminum, the cross-linked Foamet Nitrile synthetic rubber is chemically blown to create a soft, conformable layer that is permanently bonded to the SAE 5052 H38 aluminum core. The Foamet compresses, providing excellent torque retention and sealability, with no additional sealants required.
Founded in 1979, and still under family ownership at its 46,000 sq ft, Dayton, Nevada facility, James Gaskets has always been well known for its investment in materials research and use of the best available metals and sealant techniques for the applications concerned.
In the case of James Gaskets' Nitrile Foamet technology (or Nitrile Butadiene Rubber - NBR - to give its full technical name), it delivers good overall resistance to oils and the chemical 'packages' usually included in modern day oil formulas. It also delivers excellent heat resistance with the added advantage of superior conformance to the sealing surfaces found in OE and aftermarket V-twin primaries and improved tolerance of the lower clamping loads used in V-twins.
