Tohatsu 50 gaskets

Roflhat · 06 May 2014, 09:33

Hi,

anyone know if it's possible to buy a complete gasket "kit" for a 2006 tohatsu 50?
I'm going to be rebuilding the powerhead with some nice parts and think I'll need new gaskets all round.

Cheers,
Seumas

If it's a 2 strokes parts are currently available along new engines, don't know about UK though. Check with a UK Tohatsu distributer for spare parts.

Happy Boating

Pretty sure you can get a gasket kit Seumas. The part number is 3C8-87121-A (Tohatsu M40D2/50D2) including gaskets, oil seals an 'o' rings for head rebuild. Hope you've set aside a few quid, as they're not cheap. As an example the Tohatsu cylinder head gasket on its own (2006 M60C) is £65 including VAT and shipping. They're very good quality by the way.

Speak to Nick Rae at Gael Force in Inverness to order.

Cheers guys,
Yeh I can get them through ribshop on here, £183!! Ouch
Almost makes leaving the engine standard tempting

Not sure how much more speed you intend to squeeze out of your 50 you go like the clappers anyway. £183 buys a lot of fuel.

I reckon I can get a fair bit more out of it. I quit enjoy modifying the engine, learning about what can be done, seeing the effects of each thing.

I have to take the block apart to get the crank welded anyway (tohatsu 50 crank is prone to coming apart) so I thought it best to replace the gaskets while I'm at it, do it right do it once.
