Gasket-Head 11004-7006

This head gasket is an original manufacturer replacement part for power equipment. It is a seal that sits in the area between the cylinder head and engine block. It is responsible for preventing air and fuel from escaping during the combustion process, which allows the engine to run. Over time it is normal for the gasket to wear down due to friction, exposure to heat and aging. However, if the gasket is not properly installed it may fail prematurely. If you notice that your engine is overheating, misfiring, releasing white smoke and your equipment has low power, the head gasket likely needs to be replaced. To access the faulty gasket, you will need to first remove the cylinder head. Carefully lift the gasket off and clean the mating surfaces to remove dirt, debris, and residue. Position the new gasket on the engine block and secure it with the appropriate fasteners.
