Additional Information

The snowblower engine crankcase cover, part number 951-11228, mounts to the engine block and closes off the crankcase opening. It supports the gasket seal and helps keep engine oil contained while shielding internal components from debris.

You may notice oil collecting around the lower engine area, damp residue near the cover seam, or visible cracks in the cover itself. In some cases, the engine may appear dirty or oily shortly after cleaning, which can point to a compromised or damaged cover.

Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. Oil may drain when the cover is removed, and nearby metal edges can be sharp, so work gloves can help reduce the risk of injury. Clean all mating surfaces carefully and tighten fasteners evenly to ensure proper sealing before reconnecting the spark plug wire.
