2025 Briggs 206 Engine Seals

ATTENTION 206 RACERS:

As you may have seen, last week Briggs & Stratton released the 2025 Ruleset for the 206 engine package. This ruleset included the anticipated move to eliminate the eligibility of the older-style “holographic” engine seals. As of Jan 15th, the ONLY seals that remain legal are the ORANGE seals.

OVKA will continue to follow this ruleset as written for 2025 for our entire competition season. If you have an older “holographic” seal engine that you plan to race with, you will need to update it by replacing the short block (bottom end) with a newer-style sealed unit to keep it legal for competition, which our local engine builders will be more than happy to assist you with.

BE AWARE: if you purchase a 206 engine at the Trade Show & Swap Meet on Feb 1st, be sure to CHECK THE SEAL. There is plenty of time to update an older engine to the new spec before Race 1 on April 13th.
