Additional Information

The MTD Engine Valve Cover Gasket (part number 751P11565B) seals the connection between the valve cover and cylinder head to prevent oil leaks and maintain proper engine pressure. It replaces part numbers 751-11565B and 951-11565.

If you notice oil leaks around the valve cover or reduced engine performance, the gasket may be worn, cracked, or improperly sealed. Replacing the gasket can restore proper sealing and improve engine reliability.

Before installing the valve cover gasket, turn off the engine and allow it to cool completely. Disconnect the spark plug wire to prevent accidental starting. Clean the sealing surface thoroughly, then install the gasket using a torque wrench to avoid overtightening. Wear work gloves to protect your hands from sharp edges and residual oil. Refer to the service manual for your model or consult a technician if you need help with installation.
