My head gasket for that engine model is not steel. Regular gasket is about $2

What are the numbers as appears on the side of your engine? If you have the proper number the lookup should be pretty trouble free. BTW it is possible to reuse the gasket is it is not damaged but it is good to have a new gasket just in case and you can save the old gasket for the next time you take the head off for cleaning. Be sure to use the proper torquing sequence when replacing the head as per your manual. |

Get a new head for it. Why waste time tryIng to fix it. You could have had it running by now. Just my thoughts. |

Where in New York are you? I believe I have a 10HP head from a parts engine left over. And as far as the model number goes if you have a white bar of soap or something white that will rub off rub it over the numbers and it usually makes them stand out and easy to read. |

small problem part the numbers are covered with paint i think cause they arent going through the model # search on Briggs website |

Yes, I was expecting that. And no, I did not lose my head several years ago, it was much longer ago than that....
Uglayallis, I can place that head on ebay, but it will be twice the price of a moneyorder.
If your interested email me: larry8200@hotmail.com |

You can purchase head gaskets online from Briggs and other parts dealers. All you need is the numbers off the engine and a credit card. |
