Additional Information
The lawn & garden equipment engine cylinder head cover gasket, part number P54064, sits between the cylinder head cover and the cylinder head to create a tight seal. This helps keep engine oil confined and prevents it from leaking onto surrounding components.
If you notice oil leaking from around the cylinder head cover, oil pooling under the engine after use, or visible wet residue along the top of the engine, the gasket may be worn, cracked, or compressed. Loss of oil and build-up around the cover area are common signs that the gasket is no longer sealing properly.
Disconnect the spark plug wire before beginning the repair. The gasket installs under the cylinder head cover near metal edges and fasteners, so work gloves can help protect your hands during removal and installation. Clean the mating surfaces before installing the new gasket to ensure proper sealing and confirm there are no remaining leaks after reconnecting the spark plug wire.
