Part Information

Basic Information

  • Part Name: Lawn & Garden Equipment Engine Rocker Arm Cover Gasket
  • Manufacturer: Briggs & Stratton
  • Category: Lawn and Garden Equipment Parts
  • Primary Function: Seals the rocker arm cover to the engine

Installation & Compatibility

  • Compatible Models: Fits various Briggs & Stratton appliance models. Please confirm this part is correct for your model before ordering.
  • Installation Difficulty: Medium; detailed knowledge of engine disassembly is advised
  • Tools Required: Standard socket set, screwdrivers, work gloves

Additional Information

Rocker arm cover gasket 690971 forms a tight seal between the rocker arm cover and the engine, helping prevent oil leaks and maintain engine performance. If your engine shows signs of oil seepage or reduced power, a worn gasket may be the cause.

To install the new gasket, disconnect the spark plug wire to avoid accidental startup. Wear work gloves for protection and clean the mating surfaces thoroughly to remove any old gasket material. A clean, dry surface helps ensure a proper seal.

This part replaces part number 273486.

Don't order if your rocker cover used silicone
August 05, 2020|Undisclosed, Alabama

This part ships with instructions. The instructions explain that if your rocker cover used silicone instead of a gasket, order the part number listed on the instructions. This information should be provided to the customer before ordering. I waited for a gasket only to learn that I should have ordered silicone instead? That wasn't made know. In the online parts catalog. I installed the gasket anyway. Perfect fit. It's back in operation.

Disappointed again
May 29, 2026|Uncle Bob, Hendersonville NC

This represented only one-half of my order. The other part that was urgently needed was delayed more than a week. This came as a nasty surprise. This will be my last order to Sears Parts Direct.
