Additional information
This engine shroud mounts over the engine and works with internal baffles to guide cooling air across critical components. Part number 951-11351 helps protect the engine from debris while supporting proper airflow during normal operation.
If the shroud cracks, warps, or comes loose, cooling airflow can become uneven and debris may enter the engine area. You might notice higher operating temperatures, increased engine noise, or visible movement of the shroud while the engine is running.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental engine startup. Handle the shroud carefully during removal and installation, and watch for sharp edges around nearby engine components.
