Stop the Seepage: Indian OEM Engine Primary Cover Gasket Part #5813897 – Available at witchdoctors.com

A glistening drop of oil under your Victory & Indian motorcycle is more than just annoying. It's a sign of a compromised primary gasket or seal and potential lubrication issues. The primary cover gasket is a critical barrier. It keeps essential engine oil exactly where it belongs. This ensures the long-term health of your V-Twin drivetrain.

The only way to guarantee a perfect, enduring seal is with genuine factory components. This Polaris OEM engine primary cover gasket is available at Witchdoctors.com. It is meticulously engineered to the exact specifications of your Indian or Victory engine. Don't risk a messy leak or clutch damage with an ill-fitting aftermarket seal. Choose the OEM standard for peace of mind.

Features and Benefits of the OEM Primary Gasket

This gasket is the definitive solution for restoring the factory seal and preventing future fluid loss.

Key Features:

  • Precision Die-Cut Fit: Manufactured using Polaris's original tooling, ensuring the gasket profile, bolt holes, and clutch access ports align perfectly with the primary cover and engine casing.
  • High-Quality Sealing Material: Made from a durable, high-density composite material designed to resist chemical breakdown from primary oil and extreme engine heat.
  • Crush and Compression Resistant: Designed to maintain its thickness and sealing properties even when compressed by the primary cover bolts tightened to the specified factory torque.

Performance Benefits:

  • Guaranteed Oil Retention: Eliminates the common primary cover "weeping" or dripping that is indicative of a degraded or failed seal, protecting your garage floor and the motorcycle itself.
  • Maintains Lubrication Integrity: Ensures your primary drive (chain and clutch) remains fully bathed in the proper amount of clean fluid, preventing premature wear.
  • Optimal Torque Distribution: The uniform thickness and material density help distribute the bolt load evenly across the cover. This prevents warping or cracking of the aluminum components.
  • Peace of Mind: Using a genuine OEM part ensures compliance with any existing factory warranties and confirms the longevity of your repair.

Polaris OEM Primary Gasket Applications

This Indian motorcycle primary cover gasket is a necessary component whenever the primary cover is removed for clutch work.

  • Indian Motorcycle: Fits various models including the Scout, Scout Sixty, Scout Bobber, and certain Thunder Stroke 111 models (specific part number confirmation is required for your model).
  • Victory Motorcycle: Applies to many V-Twin models across the Victory lineup (Hammer, Vegas, Cross Country, etc.), often requiring specific OEM part numbers depending on the engine design (e.g., Freedom 106).

(Please use our vehicle fitment tab or check your service manual to confirm the specific Polaris OEM part number for your motorcycle before ordering.)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q: Do I need to replace the gasket every time I remove the primary cover? A: Yes. Primary cover gaskets are generally designed for single use. Once compressed and subjected to heat, they lose their ability to create a reliable seal. Always install a new Victory & Indian motorcycle primary cover gasket whenever the cover is opened.

Q: Can I use RTV silicone instead of a gasket? A: No. Modern engines rely on precision gaskets to maintain exact tolerances between components. RTV sealant alone will not guarantee the correct seal.

Q: What is the most critical step when installing this gasket? A: Torque! You must use an Inch-Pound torque wrench to tighten the primary cover bolts. Follow the exact factory specification, following the correct criss-cross pattern. Over-tightening can crush the gasket or warp the cover, leading to immediate leaks.

Q: Do I need a gasket sealant/dressing on this OEM gasket? A: Typically, genuine Polaris OEM gaskets are designed to be installed clean and dry. Check your model’s service manual, but generally, no sealant is required on the clean mating surfaces.

Don't ignore the drip! Protect your V-Twin's primary drive with the flawless sealing performance of this Polaris OEM gasket.

Fit my 2016 Roadmaster just right

I awapped out my clutch and needed the primary gasket. It fit perfect. Just a small minimal dab of grease every few inches to help it stay stuck to the cover while I put the cover on the motor.
