BSA Gasket set — decarboning
A decarbonizing gasket set for the cylinder head and rocker area, cataloged for 1971–1972.
This is a decarbonizing gasket set, listed under part number 00-3176, that shows up in the cylinder head and rocker figures for the 1971–1972 catalog years. A decarb set is what you reach for when you're pulling the head off to scrape the carbon out of the combustion chamber and check the valves, rather than doing a full engine rebuild — it bundles up the gaskets you'll disturb in that job so you're not hunting down each one separately.

Because it's tied to the cylinder head and rocker area, expect this set to cover the gaskets involved in getting the head off and back on along with whatever the rocker box needs resealing. Our catalog record doesn't spell out every piece included or which specific model it was cataloged for beyond those two years, so if you're matching this against a parts book for a particular machine, give us a call and we'll confirm it lines up before you order.
We've never carried this one. Tell us what you're after and we'll go looking — you'll get a price and photos before you commit to anything.
