Blown head gasket on 5 hp walk behind blower

Had to figure out the torque spec on a Briggs 5 hp, horizontal shaft engine but did a little internet searching and found it.

Remove the existing motor head carefully to ensure that the bolts were tracked for reassembly and not lost. Scrapped the existing gasket material from the head and the motor housing. Took a little time to wire wheel carbon from the piston and valves. Put the new gasket on the head and reassembled. Torqued it down to what I believe is the proper spec.

Changed the spark plug and air filter.

Started on the second pull.

rototiller head gasket

came on time and worked great

Guest - July 7, 2022 Verified Purchase

Excellent service

Everything I asked for

Guest - March 31, 2022 Verified Purchase

worked as expected

I have a wood chipper. Vibration had loosened the cover that the output shaft goes through. I wanted to check the condition of the cylinder lining so I took the head off. I replaced the head gasket, main seal. and cover gasket. I then ran the engine and chipped a few sticks. No oil leaks or other strange occurrences, so I think my chipper is fixed.

perfect fit, fixed my problem

Arrived in good condition, it was a little bent, I would suggest putting the item in a more rigid box for future shipments. But it was fine and my log splitter is running great, much to the disappointment of my son.

Simple Part but Damaged

The order process was great and the part was delivered fairly quickly. Part was delivered damaged due to shipping and more specifically packaging. In the future would suggest shipping parts that are fragile in appropriate rigid packaging instead of mailing envelopes. eReplacement was very good and provided a refund immediately.
