Description

This cylinder head gasket is a genuine Midwest Engine replacement part for outdoor appliances with small engines, such as lawn mowers, leaf blowers, vacuums, tillers, and snowblowers. The function of the cylinder head gasket, otherwise known simply as a head gasket, is to separate the cylinder head and the engine block inside an engine. Damage to the cylinder head gasket can occur naturally over time from overuse or general wear and tear. The primary symptom of damage will be the engine exhibiting less power than usual. To test whether it is the cylinder head gasket that is causing engine issues, one can perform a compression test and ascertain whether air is being let out from the head gasket. If that is the case, there might be damage to the cylinder head gasket, making this genuine OEM replacement part essential. Remember to always wear gloves when handling, repairing, and operating outdoor equipment.This cylinder head gasket is compatible with the following brands: Briggs and Stratton, Toro, Cub Cadet, and Simplicity. Part sold individually.
