Additional information

This engine crankcase cover gasket fits between the crankcase cover and engine block to create a tight oil seal. Part number 951-11376 helps prevent oil leaks while maintaining proper internal pressure during engine operation.

If the gasket dries out, cracks, or compresses unevenly, oil may leak from the crankcase area. You might notice oil buildup around the cover, oil spots under the equipment, or gradual oil loss during use.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before starting the repair to prevent accidental engine startup. Clean all mating surfaces thoroughly before installing the gasket, and position it carefully to avoid pinching or misalignment during reassembly.
