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.

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