Description

This replacement crankcase gasket is a genuine OEM part designed for a range of different small gas-powered lawn appliance engines. It is commonly found in tillers and lawn mowers. The crankcase is a housing for the crankshaft, which receives reciprocal motion from the pistons and transforms it into rotation motion. This gasket helps seal the crankcase to create an airtight chamber and prevent oil from leaking so that the crankshaft can operate smoothly. As the engine runs, it produces a lot of heat and gases that eventually wear on gaskets. Over time, all of this stress can cause a gasket to degrade and break its seal. If this happens, oil will leak from the crankcase, the engine will easily overheat, and greyish white smoke will visibly blow out from the exhaust pipe. Replacing a crankcase gasket will require disassembling much of the engine, as it is an internal part, so we recommend following the owner's manual or consulting the manufacturer's website for instructions. This part is a high-quality replacement gasket manufactured to exactly match the specifications of the original part. It is compatible with Toro and Briggs & Stratton engines and ships individually.
