Above Expectations
Arrive on time expected. The inconvenience was in the post office, to place in box they bend the gasket an almost break it. To avoid in the future send the item insiders box.

If you send a head gasket thru the mail, you should have a cardboard backing behind the gasket to insure the integrity of the gasket. very disheartening!

Followed a YouTube video. That was great, and first time I adjusted valves. I was pleased that the replacement gasket was genuine Briggs and Stratton, and not a copy. Delivery was speedy.
Removed cowling, spark pug,valve cover, cylinder head.
Replaced head gasket, adjusted valves, set spark gap at 0.030 and reassembled. Then torqued all bolts. Replaced filters and fuel hoses.
Seems B&S OHV motors are known for leaking between the cylinder and push rod chamber. Head was warped, so flattened on a glass plate with sand paper. Cylinder was flat. Had to torque 20 inch pounds higher than spec to get it to seal.
Hardest part was the lower muffler bolt. Who ever designed it was an idiot.

Received two lawn tractors, an old Western Auto, Wizard, with a 12.5HP Briggs and Stratton, blowing smoke and running like crap. And a Bolens MTD with a 13.5HP Brigs and Stratton, also blowing smoke and running bad. Replaced head gaskets, on both mowers, and the problems stopped. Additionally, we seem to pick up a little extra power.

Blown head gasket caused me to have to replace the plug, so I decided to do a general tune up on them both, to include plus, air filter, and oil change.
Removed the flywheel cover, air cleaner, dismantled cylinder head, head gasket, push rods, rocker arms. Had to send the cylinder head to machine shop to install new valve seat insert.
Reinstalled cylinder head with new gasket and adjusted the valve lash.
