This exhaust gasket is located to fit between the exhaust system and the engine exhaust. It is used on many types of lawn and garden equipment. When operating correctly, the gasket will prevent exhaust from leaking. It also has sufficient flex to allow parts to expand when heat is present. The main purpose of a gasket is to prevent leaking. When the gasket is failing, it often leads to exhaust leaking from the joint.Many situations can cause an exhaust gasket to fail. The part can lose flexibility, dry out, or experience cracks. If the gasket chafes, it will lose its heat resistance and begin to dry out. When there is excess engine vibration, the gaskets can also tear. If this occurs, checking the engine mounts is important to ensure they are tightened and fully secure. Replacing the gasket involves removing the engine, taking out the old gasket, and putting a new one in its place.This exhaust gasket is a genuine OEM component sourced directly from the manufacturer.

This genuine OEM replacement part is a rocker cover gasket for a wide variety of Briggs & Stratton engines. A rocker cover gasket seals oil into the camshaft. The camshaft (or rocker) is the part of an engine that translates the up and down piston movements into rotational movements to turn the crankshaft. While the engine is running, there is a flurry of motion that requires a lot of oil in the camshaft. The rocker cover helps keep all this oil inside the proper places, but it needs a gasket to help seal everything in place. Engines produce a lot of heat and after prolonged use, a gasket will warp or break. When this happens, oil will begin leaking from the engine. An obvious sign of this is if the engine begins burning bluish grey smoke and seems to be going through oil at a faster-than-normal rate. This part is sourced from the original manufacturer and ships individually.

If it becomes bent, it can create problems with engine performance and even damage other components.The push rod is made of durable metal but can be damaged through ordinary use. A damaged push rod should be replaced immediately. The valve cover will need to be removed before loosening the valve rocker to rotate it away from the other components. Once this is done, the push rod can be removed and the new replacement part installed. Replace all the other parts before using the tool.This push rod is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer. It is sold as an individual component.
