Compression and Sealing for S42 and GT22 Covers

This O.S. Engine cover gasket, reference OS28214000, is an aftermarket replacement for S42 and GT22 covers that provides the sealing interface to protect crankcase compression and prevent fuel or oil seepage during running and bench work.

Fitment is friendly to enthusiasts: clear away old gasket material, align the OS28214000 to the cover ports, then tighten the cover screws in the specified pattern and torque given in the engine manual. Take care not to overtighten and check the gasket for folds or damage before completing assembly.

A correctly sealed cover contributes to stable running and predictable throttle response on nitro RC engines. If you notice oil at the joint, inconsistent compression, or degraded running in bench tests, replace the gasket and then validate engine settings rather than immediately changing jetting.

Yes. A failing gasket can reduce compression and lead to irregular running; replacing the OS28214000 often restores consistent compression and engine response.
Perform bench compression checks and inspect for leaks around the cover; if compression is within expected range and there is no seepage, the seal is likely correct.
After replacing the gasket it is good practice to recheck idle and needle settings since restored compression can alter running; make adjustments based on bench testing rather than assumptions.
