Head Gasket #059094

Air compressor head gasket (head-to-valve plate).

If the compressor pump doesn't seem to pressurize as quickly as it should or is leaking in between the head, valve plate, cylinder or crankcase while running, there's a good chance you need to install new gaskets. You can spray soapy water on the pump while it's running to inspect if there are any bubbles forming, which would indicate a leak.

Remember to tighten the bolts down to the proper torque specs as noted by the manufacturer.
