    The gasket isn't the problem

    This is a great replacement gasket, but the gasket isn't the problem. The reason the gasket leaks is because most people over tighten the valve cover and distort the mating surface causing uneven seating and eventually, an oil leak. The fact that the muffler is directly below the valve cover causes the gasket to become hot and brittle as well. Using a good quality gasket sealer such as Permatex High Temp will help keep a good seal when replacing the gasket.

  • Top critical review

    OEM gasket does the job but not necessarily the best option.

    This is the OEM cork gasket for Cub Cadet lawn tractor and other Kohler small engines. As such it does it's job but likely to fail in a few years same as the original. Permatex type gasket maker may be a more reliable replacement. I learned this after my purchase and used a small layer Permatex with the cork gasket - overly-tightened bolts at original install may have warped the aluminum valve cover and prevent a good seal for the replacement.

  • Torque to 65 inch pounds? I say 25 inch pounds is enough.

    This gasket calls for 65 inch pounds of torque when installed. I only used 25 inch pounds as it was already compressing the gasket. The old gasket was leaking, and had been torqued down so hard the gasket was only as thick as a piece of cardboard. I've had best luck installing gaskets dry. Not using any sealant. My engine shows no oil film after using this method. Installing without without using an inch/pound torque wrench is NOT a good idea. Some auto parts stores will loan you one.

  • Perfect replacement

    I work on outdoor equipment, and see these Kohler engines with leaking valve cover gaskets pretty often. For whatever reason, they just loose their ability to seal. Tightening does not help. It's easy to replace.

  • Direct Replacement

    This is a common problem with the Kohler engine where it tends to leak from the valve cover gasket. This gasket is a direct replacement and is easy to install. I’ve pretty much accepted that I have to change it every season otherwise the engine will develop a substantial leak. Hoping Kohler will develop a final fix..

  • Genuine=Good

    Genuine Kohler part. Works as expected. Another good thing to do is put a small amount of Ultra Gray or Ultra Black sealant on the valve cover side before you install this gasket. It helps hold the gasket in place for installation.

  • No more leaks!

    Just what I needed at a reasonable price. The motor had leaked at the valve cover since it was new. I attempted several times to repair the leak before I followed the instructions on a video and used something called The Right Stuff and no more leaks. just look up Kohler Courage Valve cover leaks. Make sure you clean the parts well. If the cover has been over tightened, use a small ball peen hammer and a block to flatten the areas around the bolt holes first. Do not over tighten the cover when you put it back on.

  • Right Part that I Wanted

    I had been using Permatex Form a gasket which works well in place of the gasket. I just bought the gasket as a back up.
