Description

This authentic OEM replacement cylinder head gasket fits a variety of different lawn tractors. The cylinder head, or more commonly just “head”, is an integral part of the combustion chamber. The head sits at the top of the cylinders and closes them off to create a chamber. The head usually has openings that connect to the exhaust and airflow. However, it is important that neither air nor exhaust leak in or out of these connections. The head uses several of these gaskets to prevent that from happening. The cylinder head makes up a part of the combustion chamber and, as such, gets very hot. Over a lifetime of use, a cylinder head gasket can overheat and warp. When this happens, it will no longer seal the cylinder head and must be replaced. Replacing a cylinder head gasket requires disassembling much of the engine, so follow the user's manual closely while making this repair. This part is compatible with Toro and Briggs & Stratton lawn tractors and comes sourced from its original manufacturer. This part does not include any additional hardware.
