Description

This is a cylinder head gasket that is an OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer for use on lawn mowers and other small engines in outdoor lawn and garden equipment. The head gasket is the engine block that separates the cylinder head from the engine block. This gasket is used to prevent oil from mixing with coolant. The cylinder gasket seal also seals the internal combustion process, putting it under the pressure it needs to operate. If the gasket is worn or cracked and the pressure is not right, the engine will not operate correctly, and there will be a loss of power. Oil leaks are another way to tell that the cylinder head gasket is bad and needs to be replaced. Before deciding if the cylinder head gasket is the problem, a compression test should be run using a compression gauge. After pulling the starter cord, the internal pressure should read 60 psi. If the reading is less than this, the cylinder head has lost compression, and the gasket should be removed and replaced. This cylinder head gasket is sold individually. This gasket is designed for use on lawn mowers and small engines manufactured by MTD, Yard Machines, Troy-Bilt, Yard-Man, Cub Cadet, and Husky.
