Description
This cylinder gasket replaces a part used by Echo, Little Wonder, and Shindaiwa in some of their small gasoline-powered engines. These engines are typically used in landscaping and lawn tools such as hedge trimmers, power vacuums, chippers, leaf blowers, pole saws, grass trimmers, pruners, and cultivators. This gasket sits between the cylinder and the crankcase of these small engines. It provides a seal that stops air from getting into the combustion chamber, and lubricating oil from leaking out of it. While gaskets such as these are intended to be durable, eventually the heat, expansion, and pressure experienced by the gasket will cause it to lose the ability to seal. Most often the signs of gasket failure are oil leaks around the base of the manifold and white, oily smoke emitted while the engine is running. Replacing the cylinder gasket is one of the more involved repairs a user will experience. To make certain that it is accomplished properly, it is advised that the user consult the owner's manual, an online diagram of the engine parts, and the manufacturer's website for instructions. The cylinder gasket, which is sold as an individual unit, should be replaced with one like this, which is a genuine OEM replacement part.
