The OE Match Carburettor Gasket Set is a replacement sealing kit for Solex 40 PBIC and 40 PICB carburettors fitted to early Porsche 356 applications.
x2 Required Per Car.
- Porsche 356 Pre-A / 356 A Super engines
Carburettor gaskets create seals between the various sections and mating surfaces of the carburettor assembly. These seals are essential for preventing unwanted air leaks, fuel seepage and loss of vacuum that can interfere with correct fuel metering and engine operation.
Over time, original gasket material can harden, shrink, crack or become damaged during disassembly. Reusing old gaskets after a carburettor has been opened can also lead to unreliable sealing. Installing fresh gaskets during servicing or rebuilding helps restore correct sealing and dependable carburettor operation.
What This Product Does:
- Seals mating surfaces within the Solex carburettor assembly.
- Helps prevent fuel leaks from carburettor joints.
- Helps prevent unwanted air or vacuum leaks.
- Supports accurate air/fuel metering.
- Helps maintain stable idle and predictable throttle response.
- Provides fresh sealing components during carburettor rebuilding.
- Replaces hardened, compressed or damaged original gaskets.
- Helps restore reliable operation after carburettor disassembly.
- Supports correct sealing of the 40 PBIC and 40 PICB carburettors.
A carburettor relies on controlled airflow and precisely metered fuel. Air entering through an unintended gasket leak can disturb the mixture, while fuel leakage creates both running problems and a potential safety concern.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
Possible signs of deteriorated carburettor gaskets include:
- Fuel seepage around carburettor joints.
- Strong petrol smell in the engine compartment.
- Dampness or staining around gasket surfaces.
- Rough or unstable idle.
- Engine idle speed that is difficult to adjust.
- Lean running caused by unwanted air entering the carburettor.
- Hesitation during acceleration.
- Poor throttle response.
- Uneven engine running.
- Difficult starting.
- Carburettor mixture settings that will not remain consistent.
- Increased fuel consumption.
- Visible cracking, shrinking or hardening of gasket material.
- Gaskets tearing when the carburettor is dismantled.
- Vacuum leaks detected around carburettor mating surfaces.
These symptoms can also be caused by worn throttle shafts, blocked jets, incorrect float levels or other carburettor faults, so the complete carburettor should be inspected during diagnosis.
Why Replacement Matters:
Carburettor gaskets are designed to seal accurately between components. Once the gasket material has been compressed and exposed to fuel, heat and repeated temperature cycles, it may no longer reseal effectively after removal.
A damaged gasket can allow either fuel or air to pass where it should not.
Replacing worn gaskets helps restore:
- Correct carburettor sealing.
- Stable idle.
- Accurate fuel metering.
- Consistent throttle response.
- Reduced risk of fuel leakage.
- Reliable starting.
- Better carburettor adjustment.
- Cleaner and safer engine-bay operation.

OEMatch Gaskets & Sets — Fit, Function, Confidence
Gaskets & sets restore sealing between critical engine surfaces on Porsche models, preventing oil, coolant and combustion gas leaks and helping to maintain compression. OEMatch supplies a broad selection of parts aimed at keeping Porsche vehicles on the road across generations. OEMatch gaskets & sets are compatible replacements engineered to original-spec dimensions and tolerances — a practical option when genuine or OEM parts are unavailable.
Available Types
- Complete engine gasket kits for full rebuilds
- Head gaskets and multi-layer steel head seals
- Valve cover and rocker cover gaskets
- Oil pan and sump gaskets
- Intake manifold gaskets and seal sets
Understanding OEMatch Gaskets & Sets
OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) parts are made by the same company that produced your Porsche’s original gaskets & sets.
OE (Original Equipment) refers to parts matching original specifications for the gaskets & sets and may be supplied by alternative manufacturers. Aftermarket parts offer alternative options, sometimes with enhanced features or better value. OEMatch supplies non-OEM gaskets & sets engineered as direct-fit alternatives to OEM parts, made to original-spec dimensions and tolerances for Porsche models.
Gaskets are produced from composite, metal and elastomer materials chosen for heat, pressure and chemical resistance and are installed between mating surfaces such as the cylinder head, intake manifold and oil pan to maintain seals under extreme operating conditions.
Benefits Include
- Restores compression integrity and engine sealing
- Reduces oil and coolant leaks to protect components
- Simplifies rebuilds with complete kits that group required seals
Why Gaskets & Sets Wear and Fail
- Exposure to repeated high temperature cycles and pressure fluctuations leading to material fatigue
- Incorrect installation or improper torque sequencing during assembly
- Warped or uneven mating surfaces causing localised leakage
The Importance of Replacing with OEMatch Gaskets & Sets
Timely replacement of worn or damaged gaskets prevents cross-contamination of fluids, avoids loss of compression and reduces the risk of overheating and engine damage. For Porsche engines, correct gasket selection and careful installation also support component longevity and consistent operation under sustained loads and high temperatures. Using a complete kit during an overhaul can reduce repeat work and help ensure all sealing interfaces are addressed together.
Advantages
- Complete kits reduce the need to source multiple individual seals
- Materials chosen for resistance to heat, oil and coolant exposure
- Coverage aimed at both classic air-cooled and modern water-cooled Porsche engines
