Additional Information

The Briggs & Stratton lawn & garden equipment engine crankcase gasket (part number 697110) seals the crankcase cover to the crankcase to maintain oil pressure and prevent leaks. A worn or damaged gasket can cause engine oil leaks, which may result in low oil levels, reduced lubrication, and eventual engine damage if not replaced.

Replace the crankcase gasket if you see oil leaking from the crankcase cover area or notice oil collecting under the engine after use. Addressing these symptoms quickly helps protect engine performance and extend its service life.

To install, work on a cool engine and disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Use a screwdriver and wrench set to remove the crankcase cover, then carefully replace the old gasket with the new one. Wear work gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges and engine components. Proper installation ensures a secure seal and reliable engine operation.
