Genuine Briggs & Stratton 794114 Cylinder Head Gasket

Worked great on my rebuild

Fits perfectly, my mower runs like new..

Head gasket job was relatively easy. Took me 3.5 hours, but more than an hour of that was getting all the parts completely clean with a little bit of gasoline and a plastic scrubby so that they could be re-assembled. At the end of the job, the tractor started right up and head gasket leak problem was solved. Tractor runs like brand new and no longer burns any oil. Valve cover gasket leaked the first time because I used the wrong valve cover sealant (Permatex form-a-gasket #2 is too soft for this application). One week and one mowing later I spend another 30 minutes replacing the valve cover gasket for the second time and used Permatex grey high torque form-a-gasket. Now its is running and mowing like brand new, not burning any oil, and no oil leaks. Job done! Only special tools needed are a good torque wrench to torque on the head and valve cover, and feeler gauges to set the proper gaps on the valve rockers. All other tools are standard stuff most people have.

When I opened the packed the gasket had a hard crease on one side. It was not cracked but the crease did worry me while I was installing

It arrived 3 days earlier than the first day of the arrival window. It had a big "33" on it where the old gasket had "31" but it fit the bolt and pin pattern and was same thickness. Bought a torque wrench, followed the bolting sequences and installed it. After the engine blew out the old oil in the muffler, the mower worked like it did when it was working good. Bought this for about half of what local mow and repair stores quoted for and that includes shipping. What else can I give it but 5 stars. I think I bought it from AS Company. I bought another one of these to repair another B&S engine, same size, same design. The new gasket is actually wider where the old gaskets had a tendency to blow, right between the cylinder and valve galley. I'm thinking this replacement part is better than the original. Both engines are running good, now.

I replaced the head gasket myself after watching a couple of tutorials and it went extremely well. The new gasket is a perfect replacement and fixed my oil burning issue. I'm hopeful it will last many, many years, but time will tell.

When I installed this, every bolt hole lined up with no issues. Completed the installation and is working as it should. Will purchase again.

This is the second one that came damaged

all good

Worked well. Installed it on Briggs and Stratton 15.5 hp Craftsman Lawn Tractor...

The part was immaculately packed but inside was a gasket who was folded in four places and this being a cylinder head gasket it will blow immediately if fitted. Not worth the postage to send back so it went directly into the wastebin...

Sa installé très bien et sa fait
