Description
On lawn and garden equipment, the cylinder head gasket sits between the engine block and the cylinder head. It works by sealing in the internal combustion process and prevents coolant and oil from mixing while moving from the engine block to the cylinder head. If the cylinder head gasket is malfunctioning, it can result in white smoke, fouled spark plugs, leaking coolant, milky white oil, and engine overheating.Over time, gaskets can start to wear out and may crack, resulting in the need for a replacement. Tools required to replace the cylinder head gasket include a socket driver, nut driver, hex bit, spark plug wrench, screwdriver, torque wrench, Torx screwdriver, and a gauge. First, gain access to the cylinder head gasket and check whether it is flat. Prepare a flat surface before removing the old head gasket and putting in the new one.This cylinder head gasket is a genuine OEM replacement part directly sourced from the manufacturer. It is made to fit lawnmowers, wood chippers, snowblowers, tillers, and generators from Briggs & Stratton, Simplicity, Toro, and Lawn-Boy.
