Description

This gasket-rocker cover, also called a valve cover gasket, is used in small engines to create an air-tight seal between the engine and the valve cover. This cover is also made to prevent oil from leaking as it travels throughout the engine. It’s an important component to ensure the cylinder head is protected from the elements and oil doesn’t leave the motor. If this component has failed, replacement is essential to avoid engine failure. Gasket-rocker covers are protected on the bottom and top, but they may experience damage from the sides. Over time, the gasket can crack after becoming brittle, which allows dirt, heat, and debris exposure. This can lead to the cover breaking down and leaking, which may cause reduced engine performance and cosmetic problems. Some signs that replacement is needed include a burning oil smell, a dirty cover, and an engine that runs low on oil. This gasket-rocker cover is a genuine OEM component that is directly from the manufacturer. It’s designed for use with Briggs & Stratton and Toro lawn tractors and small engines. It’s sold individually and can be attached using a torque wrench or a socket set.
